A bored Petersburg dandy rejects a country girl's love letter and kills his friend in a pointless duel, and years later finds her married, magnificent and no longer his for the asking.

My uncle's goodness is extreme, If seriously he hath disease; He hath acquired the world's esteem And nothing more important sees.
Eugene Onegin, Alexander Pushkin
