Pushkinology

We may further imagine that Coleridge’s and Poncet’s doleful singer was none other than Pushkin’s great-great-grandmother; that her lord, either of Poncet’s two hosts, was Pushkin’s great-great-grandfather; and that the latter was a son of Cella Christos, Dr. Johnson’s Rasselas. There is nothing in the annals of Pushkinology to restrain one from the elaboration of such fancies.
