Onegin

Factual error: The song Olga and Lensky sing at the piano was written in the first half of the 20th century, while the events happen about 100 years earlier.

Vladimir Lensky: Didn't I say don't be late?
Evgeny Onegin: Yes.
Vladimir Lensky: Then why are you late?

Evgeny Onegin: If you but knew the flames that burn in me which I attempt to beat down with my reason.

Evgeny Onegin: You interpret my heart, my nature, as you wish to believe it. In truth, I have no secret longing to be saved from myself.
