Tyutchev F. Its useless - they wont show sense...
More liberal ’mongst them have but more pretension;
Civilization is what they cense,
Yet its intent’s beyond their comprehension.
And however you, sirs, bend the knee,
Will not win recognition from Europeans,
For in their eyes you will always be
Not agents of enlightenment, but peons.
