Where it stands
Погода вначале была хорошая, тихая. At first the weather was fine and still.
Кричали дрозды, и по соседству в болотах что-то живое жалобно гудело, точно дуло в пустую бутылку. Thrushes were calling, and close by in the marshes something alive was humming plaintively, as though blowing into an empty bottle.
Но когда стемнело в лесу, некстати подул с востока холодный пронизывающий ветер, всё смолкло. But when it grew dark in the forest, a cold, piercing wind blew up out of the east, quite out of season, and everything fell silent.
По лужам протянулись ледяные иглы, и стало в лесу неуютно, глухо и нелюдимо. Needles of ice stretched across the puddles, and the forest turned cheerless, muffled and unfriendly.
