Typical Gemini: On the “Selected Poetry” of Alexander Pushkin (lareviewofbooks.org)

Curious to see examples of him being "a little prick, a typical gemini".


I don't get it, the article doesn't say anything about geminis.


Not much but still some: “Finally, and most vitally, reading Pushkin offers tremendous pleasure: right after shaking one’s head at what a little prick he was, a typical Gemini, one is touched or amused by the next amazing line.”


I know, I also searched, but it doesn't really give a clue what he means by that.


Gemini is the Twins. Sometimes people say that Geminis have two personalities. I think that he is saying that Pushkin is simultaneously a prick and touching/amusing/amazing.
