The streets are quiet, the rain has
made the poet sleepy. He dreams of the
old stories of childhood old teachers read.
These stories are the most important
thing the poet took from his old hometown.
The frog and magic bird and places in the
pond slowly unwind from the damps of his
sad mind.” Ah, happy rainy days and
calmness that rubs against the steaming
windows!"
