more of Masha's poem

"On the scoop of the shore..." bit is from Alexander Pushkin's epic
fairytale about the abduction of Prince Vladimir of Kiev's daughter,
Ludmilla, by an evil wizard and the attempt by the brave knight Ruslan to
find and rescue her. Published in 1820, it is composed of 6 cantos.


I found it very interesting and helpful that a golden ring in the fairy
tale is magic and can bring the kidnapped Ludmilla back to life from her
deep trance. Its amazing that to Masha, the 'gold chain' is limiting and
hurting those around, but to Ruslan, it can save his love.
