St. Petersburg's place in the world
"Marvelous buildings, gilded by the morning sun, were reflected
brightly in the clean mirror of the Neva, and we both exclaimed
unanimously, "What a city! What a river!The only city!"
-Konstanin Batyushkov

"A hundred times amid the fog I had a strange but persistent dream:
'What if, when this fog scatters and flies upward, the whole rotten,
slimy city goes with it, rises with the fog and vanishes like smoke,
leaving behind the old Finnish swamp, and in the middle of it,
I suppose for beauty's sake, the bronze horseman on the panting,
whipped horse?" -Fyodor Dostoevsky
