_To Mrs. Saville, England._
_À Senhora Saville, Inglaterra._
St. Petersburgh, Dec. 11th, 17—.
São Petersburgo, 11 de dezembro de 17—.
You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings.
Você ficará feliz em saber que nenhum desastre acompanhou o início de um empreendimento que você considerou com tão maus presságios.
I arrived here yesterday, and my first task is to assure my dear sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking.
Cheguei aqui ontem, e minha primeira tarefa é assegurar à minha querida irmã o meu bem-estar e a crescente confiança no sucesso do meu empreendimento.
I am already far north of London, and as I walk in the streets of Petersburgh, I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves and fills me with delight.
Já estou muito ao norte de Londres, e enquanto caminho pelas ruas de Petersburgo, sinto uma fria brisa do norte brincar em minhas faces, o que fortalece meus nervos e me enche de deleite.
Do you understand this feeling?
Você compreende esse sentimento?
This breeze, which has travelled from the regions towards which I am advancing, gives me a foretaste of those icy climes.
Esta brisa, que viajou das regiões em direção às quais estou avançando, dá-me um antegosto daqueles climas gelados.
Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become more fervent and vivid.
Animado por este vento de promessa, meus devaneios tornam-se mais ferventes e vívidos.
I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation; it ever presents itself to my imagination as the region of beauty and delight.
Tento em vão ser persuadido de que o polo é a morada do gelo e da desolação; ele sempre se apresenta à minha imaginação como a região da beleza e do deleite.
