Taras Shevchenko Shadow on the banks of the Dniepe

Описание: Under the boundless night sky, where stars twinkle like the souls of forgotten ancestors, lies a quiet village on the banks of the mighty Dnieper. The villagers whisper about a figure that appears on foggy nights—a shadow in a tattered coat, with eyes like smoldering coals and a voice that pierces to the bone. They call him the Forgotten One, and say he is a cursed poet whose words of vengeance awaken the earth with each full moon.

One evening, a young girl named Oksana dreams of this shadow. In her vision, he calls her name with a voice full of longing. Feeling a strange pull, she goes to the riverbank, despite the elders’ warnings. Under the cold moonlight, Oksana hears ancient verses—forgotten lines that speak of betrayal, love shattered by envy and cruelty.
