The Neva River, lined with the Hermitage's buildings,
is one of the most beautiful sights of the city. The windows of the
Winter Palace afford a fine view of the river slowly carrying its
deep waters to the Gulf of Finland. It is always so changeable: now
it is ice-bound, with paths beaten across it in the snow; now as calm
as a mirror, with tourist river-boats plying between its banks; and
now as furious as a beast, threatening to flood the whole city with
its leaden-coloured waters. |
