#1 Petrushka own persona 
Petrushka (French: Pétrouchka) is a ballet set to music by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was composed in 1910–11 and revised in 1947. The ballet tells the story of a Russian traditional puppet Petrushka, who is made of straw and with a bag of sawdust as his body, but who comes to life and develops emotions.

#3 Children on icy hill 
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world, and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.
Robert Frost Poems
#4 Like Pushkin
Hard frost and sunshine – a day of pleasure!
You are still drowsy at your leisure –
It’s time, my beauty, ope your eyes!
Let you get free of blissful dreaming,
To meet the North Aurora, deeming
The Star of North, let you arise!
Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (/ˈpʊʃkɪn/; 6 June [O.S. 26 May] 1799 – 10 February [O.S. 29 January] 1837)
