Что же представляется моему взору, когда я бросаю взгляд на пройденный мною путь? Детские годы уже едва различить за перевалом минувшего столетия. Юность, как в немом кино, беззвучно бурлит и искрится, окутанная дымкой времени. (Д. Мельников, Железный прораб) — What do I see when I cast my eyes back on things past? My childhood is barely discernible behind the turn of the century. My youth froths and sparkles enveloped in a mist of time as though in a silent film.
