Hi, All!


In Russian folklore we have a beast with three heads. In England there are
probably ones which have head and three bodies:

Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K. Jerome
-----Beginning of the citation-----
The day has been so full of fret and care, and our hearts have been so
full of evil and of bitter thoughts, and the world has seemed so hard
and wrong to us. Then Night, like some great loving mother, gently lays
her hand upon our fevered head, and turns our little tear-stained faces
up to hers, and smiles; and, though she does not speak, we know what she
would say, and lay our hot flushed cheek against her bosom, and the pain
is gone.
----- The end of the citation -----

...our hearts have been so full of evil and of bitter thoughts
...Then Night, like some great loving mother, gently lays her hand upon our
fevered head
...and lay our hot flushed cheek against her bosom

;)

Bye, All!
Alexander Koryagin
