What little town by river or sea shore,
Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,
Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Hindi, Greek and English all come from a single ancient language – here’s how we know
This now-extinct tongue was probably spoken somewhere in Eurasia as many as 8,000 years ago. But how do we know Proto-Indo-European must have existed?

I can’t help but think
of that cruel fairy tale
about the proud girl
who trod on a loaf
to spare her new shoes crossing
a puddle of mud.
Down she sank, down, past
the Marsh Witch’s brewery,
to hell’s portals
