Stolby
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pri more chjornom stojat stolby. Stolby iz kamnja. Chislo ikh vosem'. Prikhodjat chasto sjuda raby. I sonmy junykh nesut groby. Blednejut zimy. I shepchet osen'. Poroj i zveri sjuda dojdut. Poroj primchitsja sjuda i ptica. I zatoskujut. Chto delat' tut? Pojdut, zabrodjat i upadut, I upadut, ustav stremit'sja, Ustav kruzhit'sja. Pri more chjornom stojat stolby. Ot dnej dodnevnykh. Chislo ikh grozno. Chislo ikh veshche sred' chisl sud'by. I ikh znachen'e na krik mol'by: ,,Navek. Bezglasnost'.`` ,,Vrazhdebnost'.`` ,,Pozdno. Pozdno.``
