Description:
She seemed to belong to this city. As dusty, grey, and beautiful as fog mixed with smoke from internal combustion engines, as glow of street headlights, warm but stern, tearing through the fog. As the rare days when the Thames seems blue, yet the Thames will never be as blue as the deep pensive eyes that never smile.
Notes:
A little clarification: The original title of this work is “[Chasy]”. The word "chasy" in Russian (the initial language of the story) means a watch, a clock as well as hours, thus wordplay was sustained throughout the story. The wordplay itself was, much to our dismay, largely lost in translation. However, for those reading this story in English, the recurring metaphor of time will be apparent to you too thanks to the semantic field of time (time and time-telling related stuff is mentioned throughout the story to convey the idea).
