A butterfly with poem written by A. Fet


Postcard ID: RU-1987930
Country: Russia

Butterflies are my passion :)
The poem on this card was written by Russian poet Afanasy Fet:

You're right. An outline of the air
I'm so sweet.
My whole velvet with him alive by blinking -
Only two wings.

Do not ask: Where did?
Why rush?
Here I light the flower down
And now - breathe.

For how long, without purpose, without any effort
I want to breathe?
That's it now, flashing, Raskin wings
And fly away.

Kyiv. The St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, 12th c.


Postcard ID: UA-729813
Country: Ukraine

St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery is a functioning monastery in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The monastery is located on the right bank of the Dnieper River on the edge of a bluff northeast of the Saint Sophia Cathedral. The site is located in the historic administrative Uppertown and overlooks the city's historical commercial and merchant quarter, the Podil neighbourhood.

Originally built in the Middle Ages by Sviatopolk II Iziaslavych, the monastery comprises the Cathedral itself, the Refectory of St. John the Divine, built in 1713, the Economic Gates, constructed in 1760 and the monastery's bell tower, which was added circa 1716–1719. The exterior of the structure was rebuilt in the Ukrainian Baroque style in the 18th century while the interior remained in its original Byzantine style. The original cathedral was demolished by the Soviet authorities in the 1930s, but was reconstructed and opened in 1999 following Ukrainian independence in 1991. (с) Wikipedia

I was there during my trip to Kiev. It's a great place!
