But winter will be big —
Here, look on, the river
Quiet autumn dies,
Waving yellow hand.
Crying wet aspen
Crying grandfather Arbat
Crying Blue Russian,
Transformed into a snowfall .
And, smashing the snow drifts ,
The sun falls upon the spring …
But winter will be big —
Only the twilight and snow.
Sung by Varvara Vizbor, and composed by her grandfather, a noted Soviet-era poet.
It was a popular poem in Moscow at one time.
Winter is the time when Russia excels. The EU are complete fools to have put themselves in this position.”
In a Big Big way.
Perhaps Van der Crazy could update us on that in a couple of months.
