Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Translations in Verse Demons (Pushkin) Clouds are shifting, clouds are flying, Scarce the hidden moon´s pale light On the drifting snow is lying - Wild the heavens, wild the night. Swiftly o´er the stormswept lowland - Jingle, jingle bells amain! Swiftly still, though heavy hearted, Drive I o´er the unknown plain. "Ho there, driver, onward!" - Faster, Good my lord, we may not go: For the stormwind blinds me, master, And the roads are choked with snow. Useless all! - the track is hidden: We are lost to help and home: From afar the demon´s spied us! Closer circling see him come! Ha! beside us he´s careering, Hissing, spitting, - now, I ween, Round yon steed, so madly veering On the brink of the ravine. There - if near or far I know not, He was whirling in my sight. There again he pined and dwindled, Vanished into empty night! Clouds are shifting, clouds are flying, Scarce the hidden moon´s pale light On the drifting snow is lying - Wild the heavens, wild the night. Courage fails to struggle longer - Suddenly the sleigh bells cease - Pause the team - "Declare, thou yonder, Wolf or tree stem - it is peace?"
