 The sun was setting, silvery
tenement windows reflected clear sky, shrouded with pink fading rays. Greening
grass, like a soft carpet, covered whole west slope of Castle Hill. Old, stone
donjon, the watchtower of past ages was slowly giving in to charm of the night...
***
Blue Lady was wandering in her
chambers. Her long, wide dress was shining in the darkness, windows gave dim
light. She stopped in front of one of them and looked at fading horizon.
The ballroom was vibrant with life. Aristocrats wearing finery dresses.
Decorated tables. Hundreds of flickering candles. Buzz of voices. Laughter.
She turned away from the window. She
quickly skimmed through silent, dark Room. Shadows drew blurred figures on
wooden floor.
He came closer to her. Tall, dark haired, wearing gorgeous uniform. He
took a bow courtesy and reach out his hand.
A tear flowed down on a pale
cheek
***
The candle was burning out. In its flickering blaze
He looked decisively at manuscript. Writing the chronicle was not the easiest job
especially in darkness and cold. Blenda put down the quill, and stood up. He
looked once again at last page of Chronicle of Będzin. He smiled and blew the
candle out. Blue smore was rising for a moment in dark cell.
***
Stony face of Bachus lit with moonlight seemed to
watch every move. Figure, clothe in long, dark coat was walking in the palace
park. Footsteps echoed among dark tree shapes. Kazimierz Mieroszewski looked at
his golden sickle. His look was filled with unimaginable sadness.
Hooves sounded in the distance. Black horse was
running through the park. Man looked at him unseeingly. It's time. The
horse stopped In front of him and meaningly bowed his head. Kazimierz sighted
and grabbed a bridle. A moment later he was only a small point in the horizon.
***
...and you give in to the charm of the night. Because
true soul of our city is right here in this stone walls, dormant with the
silence of unrevealed mysteries.
