White night The first birch leaf is so fragrant, but I won’t get carried away w ith inspiration. White nights - daydreams o f a downpour, everything in them is bitter, even color, even taste. But I’m proud, I’m even glad that in June the night has disappeared. In vain the sun seeks out the sunset, who is able to help him? Only August w ill disperse the light, and remind us that there is a sunset, but for now there is no sunset: and June is not to blame for that!
