NARVA, ESTONIA 🇪🇪, IVANGOROD, RUSSIA 🇷🇺 : “IT IS A STRANGE PLACE…”

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment
“Once we reach Narva River, the city abounds with the evening sun and the swallows are flying high above. The river divides, at a leisurely pace, the one side from the other, the one nation from the other: a fluid border. It is beautiful, and I realize that I had expected rather something gloomy…It is a strange place. Located on opposite sides of the river are two fortresses that now — once again — belong to two nations. Ivangorod, on the other side, is younger and dilapidated by comparison. But when standing in the outer courtyard of the Narva fortress, the river cannot be seen and the gray mass of the two castle arches appears to be a seamless melding into each other. As if everything were one. “An emblem of the rivalry between the Eastern and Western Roman Empire…” ~ Unn Gustafsson

Blue-Black-White flag. Some say the blue is for the vaulted blue sky above the native land, the black for attachment to the soil of the homeland as well as the fate of Estonians — for centuries black with worries, and white for purity, hard work, and commitment.

«Я пережил все желания,
Мои мечты и я разошлись;
Одно мое горе осталось целым,
Мерцание пустого сердца.
.
Бури безжалостного устроения
Оцепенели мою цветочную гирлянду,
Я живу в одиноком запустении
И удивляюсь, когда настанет мой конец.
.
Таким образом, на голой ветке дерева, взорванной
Свистящим холодом поздней зимы,
Единственный лист, который пережил
Его сезон еще будет дрожать ».
Александр Пушкин
