Nikolai Gogol Quotes

A Swishing Is Often Heard In The Carpathians, The Sound As Of A Thousand Mill Wheels Turning In The Water. It Is The Dead Men Gnawing At The Dead Man, In The Abyss Without Issue, Which No Man Has Ever Seen, Fearing To Pass Near It. It Happens Not Seldom In The World That The Earth Shakes From One End To The Other: Learned People Say It Is Because Somewhere By The Sea There Is A Mountain Out Of Which Flames Burst And Burning Rivers Flow. But The Old Men Who Live In Hungary And The Land Of Galicia Know Better And Say That The Earth Shakes Because There Is A Dead Man Grown Great And Huge In It Who Wants To Rise.
