Light. This is the word that flashes in the mind when the first morning of spring opens its arms over Moscow. The air, saturated with the aromas of awakening nature, quickly penetrates every corner of the city, transforming it into a utopia of light and warmth.
On this day Alexander Pushkin decided to spend time strolling the streets of Moscow. He left his house, enjoying the soft touch of fresh air, and headed to the English Club. This club, founded for socializing and exchanging knowledge, was a place where the outstanding minds of the time gathered.
As Pushkin walked, his attention was drawn to the cabbies standing at the side of the road. One of them, an old man with grey hair and kind eyes, noticed the poet and nodded politely. Pushkin stopped and, turning to the cabbie, asked if he could take him to the English Club.
The cabman, introducing himself as Ivan, readily agreed. Their route lay through a park where the trees, as if coming to life, created a bizarre play of shadows on the ground. Ivan told Pushkin about his children, who often played in this park, and how much they loved to listen to stories about distant lands and great journeys.
Upon arrival at English club in Moscow, Pushkin invited Ivan to join him for a cup of tea. In the warm hall of the club, the air was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed tea and the sounds of lively conversations. Ivan, a little embarrassed but flattered by the invitation, sat down at the table with Pushkin.
Outside the club window, a forest could be seen, where the wind played with the leaves, creating a melody reminiscent of the serenity of nature. Pushkin told Ivan about his travels and the inspiration he drew from forest walks. Ivan, in turn, shared stories about his childhood spent in a village surrounded by forests.
Time flew by, and when Pushkin got up to go home, he thanked Ivan for the company and friendly conversations. As he left, Pushkin left the cabbie a few lines dedicated to their meeting and the magic of the Moscow morning.
