"Wondrous is the Dnieper, too, on a warm summer night, when everything falls asleep - man, beast, and bird - and God alone grandly surveys heaven and earth and grandly shakes his robes. Stars burn and shine over the world, and all are reflected at once in the Dnieper. All of them the Dnieper holds in his dark bosom. Not one escapes him, unless it goes out in the sky. The black forest studded with sleeping crows and the hills broken up since ancient times, hanging over, strain to cover him at least with their long shadows - but in vain!"

The Terrible Vengeance, by Nikolai Gogol
