I Loved You... A.S.Pushkin In Eng Comments

The line I most favored: 'Don't wanna make you, with anything, upset.' bri : )

WHO and WHEN and WHY are my questions about the poem's 'speaker', 'I'? ? Last line: 'as god grant you to be' ....'grant' or 'granted'? ?

And, why do I read 'Eng' in your title. Is it an error by your or PH, or is it an 'abbreviaton' for English? I have a Chinese relative who's last name I believe is Eng (or is it Ing?) .

Alex, are you in Russia? Are you the artist (above) ? Do you know of Valentin Savin, also who wrote in Russian and English here? I think he died.

'his repeated petitions to be allowed to resign his post, retire to the country, and devote himself entirely to literature were all rejected. Finally, in 1837, Pushkin was mortally wounded defending his wife's honour in a duel forced on him by influential enemies.'
