Imagery:
"So she was called Tatyana, reader. / She lacked that fresh and rosy tone / That made her sister's beauty sweeter / And drew all eyes to her alone. / A wild creature, sad and pensive, / Shy as a doe and apprehensive, / Tatyana seemed among her kin / A stranger who had wandered in." Chap. 2, stanza 25, p. 47
"Already cross and irritated / By being at this feast he hated, / And nothing how poor Tanya shoot, / He barely hid his angry look / And fumed in sullen indignation; / He swore that he'd make Lensky pay / And be avenged that very day. / Exulting in anticipation, / He inwardly began to draw / Caricatures of those he saw. / Some others too might well have noted / Poor Tanya's plight; but every eye / Was at the time in full devoted / To sizing up a lavish pie" Chap. 5, stanzas 31-32, p. 124
