| I went to my mother, and found her change was near | я пошел к матери и понял, что её исход близок (change: the act of passing from one state or phase to another: About three in the afternoon I went to my mother, and found her change was near. I sat down on the bedside. She was in her last conflict; unable to speak, but I believe quite sensible. Her look was calm and serene, and her eyes fixed upward, while we commended her soul to God. From three to four, the silver cord was loosing, and the wheel breaking at the cistern; and then, without any struggle, or sigh, or groan, the soul was set at liberty.  google.ru Franka_LV) |
