People wished happiness
And in new Age and old times.
They dreamed of being in power
There was a good king.To rule fairly
He did not sow evil and darkness.
So that people live happily...
But it didn't happen that way.Princes climbed to the throne
God knows what blood.
But more often they are crooks
All brands and suits.And everyone who rules
Neither this one nor that one
No one bet a penny
“Beloved” your people.They were all so similar
And again, and again, and again
It's like they poured water
A river of human blood.He spared the people, but who is there?
And all their generosity -
Tears, blood, sweat
Treat the peopleYes, drive the youths to the slaughterhouse...
And it's time for everyone to understand
From those who sat on the throne
Don't expect good things.

“There was a humid blow from the sea, cold wind, spreading across the steppe the thoughtful melody of the splash of a wave running onto the shore and the rustling of coastal bushes. Occasionally, his gusts brought with them wrinkled, yellow leaves and threw them into the fire, fanning the flames; the darkness of the autumn night that surrounded us trembled and, timidly moving away, revealed for a moment on the left - the boundless steppe, on the right - the endless sea and directly opposite me - the figure of Makar Chudra, an old gypsy ... "
“...I walked further and further. The forest thinned out little by little, the soil sank and became hummocky. The footprint made in the snow by my foot quickly darkened and filled with water. I've already fallen to my knees several times. I had to jump from bump to bump; in the thick brown moss that covered them, their feet sank as if into a soft carpet.
The bush was soon completely gone. In front of me was a large round swamp, covered with snow, from under the white veil of which rare hummocks stuck out. At the opposite end of the swamp, between the trees, the white walls of some kind of hut peeked out.”
“There was a thunderstorm - there, behind them, above the forest, and here the sun was shining, the steppe was sighing, the grass was shining in the diamonds of the rain and the river was sparkling gold... It was evening, and from the rays of the sunset the river seemed red, like the blood that flowed in a hot stream from Danko's torn chest."
I was traveling by train from Tiflis. The entire load of my cart consisted of one small suitcase, which was half filled with travel notes about Georgia. Most of Of these, fortunately for you, was lost, but the suitcase with the rest of the things, fortunately for me, remained intact.
The sun was already beginning to hide behind the snowy ridge when I entered the Koishauri Valley. The Ossetian cab driver tirelessly drove his horses in order to climb Mount Koishauri before nightfall, and sang songs at the top of his lungs.
This valley is a wonderful place! On all sides there are inaccessible mountains, reddish rocks, hung with green ivy and crowned with clumps of plane trees, yellow cliffs, streaked with gullies, and there, high, high, a golden fringe of snow, and below Aragva, embracing another nameless river, noisily bursting out of a black gorge full of darkness , stretches silver thread and sparkles like a snake with its scales.
