Astonishing

The Asia Society offers educational resources for students and for teachers. Their nifty website has numerous links to lesson plans, games, stories, maps, images and more than I can tell you about here; so go see for yourself.

Also: The Three Sisters - Anton Chekhov. Translated by Carol Rocamora

VERSHININ: In two hundred, three hundred years, life on earth will become unimaginably beautiful, astonishingly so. Man needs such a life, and if it is not his to have now, then he must anticipate it, wait, dream, prepare for it, he must see and know more than his father and grandfathers before him. (Laughs.) And you complain that you know too much.

MASHA: (Takes off her hat.) I'm staying for lunch.
