I strolled to the Red Square on Sunday morning before I had to leave for the airport. It was drizzling. The Square is vast, grey and quiet. The stage set up on the east side for celebration of the 72th anniversary of the Parade on the Red Square on 7 Nov. 1941 appeared especially bright and red. The amber light from inside the Kazan Cathedral shed a touch of warmth into the cool and damp air. I stood on the north end of the Square, enjoying this precious moment of solitude.

离开莫斯科的这天清晨，我又走到红场。微雨中有了寒意，广场空旷、安静，灰色的雨雾弥漫。广场东边已经搭起了纪念1941年11月7日红场阅兵72周年的台子，红色显得那么明亮。琥珀色的灯光透过广场东北边上喀山大教堂的玻璃窗，将温暖的感觉撒向湿冷的空气。我久久地站在广场北端，此刻孤独成为一种享受。
