The sun melts all of
Moscow down to a single spot
that, like a mad tuba, starts all
of the heart and all of the soul
vibrating. But no, this uniformity
of red is not the most beautiful
hour. It is only the final chord of
a symphony that takes every
colour to the zenith of life that,
like the fortissimo of a great
orchestra, is both compelled and
allowed by Moscow to ring out.
