…What I am about to tell you happened a long time ago in Ukraine, in the middle of nowhere, and has not yet spread around the world. The grandmother who told me the story assured me that in the middle of nowhere there are many honest great events, just like lush flowers. She was an old woman, and she had lived a long time in the world, and she said that she had seen a lot of things and experienced a lot of things, and that nothing in the world could be compared to these flowers that grew in the middle of nowhere. Nor with these events that are hidden in the wilderness. The centuries come and go, and still the same lush, fresh flowers attract the eye with their luxury, and quiet, majestic events lovingly soothe and soften the human heart.
