❝ ‘Yes,’ Aleksandr Ivanovich replied mechanically, ‘Petersburg stands on a swamp [ ... ] But concerning the fact that our capital city, abundantly adorned with monuments, also belongs to the land of the world beyond the grave.’ ❞ independent personification of st. petersburg, russia. written by ian. remade april 2020.

[czesarevich]

…А там мой мраморный двойник, Поверженный под старым клёном, Озёрным водам отдал лик, Внимает шорохам зелёным. И моют светлые дожди Его запекшуюся рану… Холодный, белый, подожди, Я тоже мраморною стану.
