Несчастная судьба опять воспрепятствовала попасть в Селище. Даст Бог, лет через 35 попаду, а пока низко Вам кланяюсь.
П. Чайковский |
Unfortunately fate has again thwarted me from making it to Selishche [1]. God willing I'll make it there in another 35 years, but until then I bow deeply to you.
P. Tchaikovsky |

- ↑ The Maslov family estate was at Selische, in Oryol province. Although Tchaikovsky was often invited to spend the summer there, he was never able to find the opportunity.
