Ad infinitum
Language: Russian (Русский)
V xrame vsyo — kak prezhde by'lo. Sly'shen tixij vzmax kadil. «Ya smeyalsya, ya shutil. Neuzheli ty' lyubila?» Dy'men smutny'j trepet svech, Na ikonax svet zayomny'j. Kazhdy'j xochet v cerkvi tyomnoj Ot svechi svechu zazhech`. V xrame budet tak, kak by'lo. Sly'shen tixij zvon kadil. «A, neverny'j! Ty' shutil. Gore! Gore! YA lyubila.»
