Divine Venice.
Divine Venice.
The river bus has approached to our stop almost
The empty. We have taken the best places from which everything is visible, and have floated on
To main "street" of Venice - to the Big channel. This way is twisted in
To the form of turned Latin letter S of four kilometres.
First and at the left, and on the right the most usual constructions are located. At
Their moorings are moored variegated, but equally small
plavsredstva. From them unload boxes with pepper and tomatoes, bags with
Sugar, boxes with bottles.
But here houses become narjadnee, intricate
Architecture. Patrimonial palaces, hotels have gone. At their entrances
Motley boats, gondolas rock. Sol-nechnye patches of light dance on
Waves, whiff of a sea breeze informs has begun to smell coffee and spices.
At stops in a tram jams more and more passengers.
It is a lot of travellers with children. Their children, even the smallest,
Are not come in loud crying and not kanjuchat.
At last - heart of Venice: a cathedral the Dignity-marko, a palace of doges,
The area the Dignity-marko. Great variety of pigeons, uncountable cafes
On open air, darkness of tourists. Narrow, as cracks, small streets
Run up humpbacked bridges.
And from a belltower the Dignity-marko Venice is looked differently:
Air, in a blue haze, with refined lines of the areas,
Palaces. The sight from here convinces, that Venice vzapravdu gods
It is created.
Hope Horhordina.
