Taras Bulba. A Tale of the Cossacks. Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol
years when they had awaited in it a black-bowed kazák maiden, who ran timidly across it with her quick, young feet. And now only one pole above the well, with the cart-wheel fastened on top, rises solitary against the sky; already the plain across which they have been riding appears a hill in the distance, and has concealed everything. Farewell childhood, and games, and everything—farewell!
