Notes from the Snow Queen on the eve of the New Ye

Notes from the Snow Queen on the eve of the New Year - English translation


They say that there are places where there is never ice or snow. I'm sorry!

If it were in my power, I would cover the entire Earth with sparkling snow and bind it with ice.

Endlessly falling snow, snowdrifts and frosty clean air.

Needle-like patterns on glass, icicles, crunching steps, cleanliness, order, rationality and ringing silence.

Snow blots all mistakes and erases all grievances, giving a chance to correct everything and rewrite it differently.

But then Spring comes - this flighty freckled girl. She is in a hurry to melt my snow and shove her dandelions everywhere. She makes mistakes after mistakes, but I know that she doesn’t learn anything, and will always make her mistakes, every year, all three of her months.

Ultimately, the unbridled Summer pulls her back and walks wildly and in a big way. And when the hops dissipate, Autumn comes to clear the table. It is preparing the Earth for the coming of Winter.

With the arrival of Winter, everything finally calms down. Winter comes into its own and asks me to keep order.

Deserted snow-covered roads, rivers murmuring under the ice, sleepy squirrels and red-breasted bullfinches.

I straighten everything out and forgive. I give words, dreams and hopes, cool Vodka and Champagne, remind you to hurry, and give you a new clean sheet.
