Again,
A pool of water of but a finger's depth,
Which lies between the stones along the pave,
Offers a vision downward into earth
As far, as from the earth o'erspread on high
The gulfs of heaven; that thus thou seemest to view
Clouds down below and
heavenly
bodies plunged
Wondrously in heaven under earth.

Pushkin - Boris Gudonov |

Nay rack your brain--'tis all in vain,
I'll tell you every thing I know;
But to the thorn, and to the pond

Perhaps when you are at the place
You
something
of her tale may trace.
