Onegin's Valentine

How much happier Tanya
would have been with Lensky
they agree about love while
Olga and Onegin agree about life
and would have been happier
just having an affair doesn’t
Eugene even tell Lensky he would
have had him pick the older
sultrier Tanya over the boring Olga
Eugene is terrified of boredom
it’s the first thing he asks Tanya
aren’t you bored here in the country
filling your head with love stories
when it turns out in the end you’ll
prefer duty to passion and ruin
habit to happiness and doom
