For instance, you’ll have a moonlit night if you write that on the mill dam a piece of glass from a broken bottle glittered like a bright little star, and that the black shadow of a dog or a wolf rolled past like a ball.”</bq> <hr> <ft>Found the original on <a href="Источник: https://tenchat.ru/media/2663632-masterklass-po-tekstam-ot-chekhova" author="turizmufa" source="TenChat">Мастер-класс по текстам от Чехова</a>, <bq author="Антон Чехов">Не говори мне, что светит луна; покажи мне отблеск света на битом стекле.</bq></ft>
