Kura, and fast rush onward, in
Times past, a lonely cloister stood;
By fields, a dense and overgrown wood
Encircled 'twas.... A wayfarer,
Toiling uphill, will see what were
A gate and gateposts once and, too,
A church....”
Mikhail Lermontov wrote the poem “Mtsyri” (“The Novice”) about the place depicted in the photo.
