Before a storm a still and gloomy hour / Comes, while the cloud that soars o'er human heads / Stands still, and with a threatening countenance / Restrains the breath of winds; silent, it runs / Around the earth with eyes of lightning, marking / The spots whereon its thunders shall be cast / One after the other. Now this hour of stillness / Came in the house of Soplicowo; well / One might suppose that some presentiment / Of strange events forthcoming, sealed all lips, / And raised all spirits to the land of dreams.
