A quarter of an hour passes; the sun has set, but it is still light in the forest; the sky is clear and transparent; the birds are chattering and twittering; the young grass shines with the brilliance of emerald....
Четверть часа прошло. Солнце село, но в лесу еще светло; воздух чист и прозрачен; птицы болтливо лепечут; молодая трава блестит веселым блеском изумруда…

I was conscious at the same instant of the twittering of birds, of someone coughing in the yard below, and of a background of movement in the landscape.

the rim of the sky flushes crimson; the jackdaws are heard, fluttering clumsily in the birch-trees; sparrows are twittering about the dark hayricks.
Край неба алеет; в березах просыпаются, неловко перелетывают галки; воробьи чирикают около темных скирд.
