Query re Vn story "Orache"/ "Lebeda" (fwd)
Date
Body
EDITOR's NOTE. I suspect that the partial (mis-)quote "porosshii kashkoju
i tsepkoj li bedoj" is from a poem by A.N. Majkov. Can anyone identify the
particular poem?

A quick query: do you have a hunch of the source of the lebeda/orache
quotation in the story Orache?
