ОПЪЛЧЕНЦИТЕ НА ШИПКА
11 август 1877

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipka_Monument

Нека носим йоще срама по челото,
синила от бича, следи от теглото;
нека спомен люти от дни на позор
да висне кат облак в наший кръгозор;
нека ни отрича исторйята, века,
нека е трагично името ни; нека
Беласица стара и новий Батак
в миналото наше фърлят своя мрак;
нека да ни сочат с присмехи обидни
счупенте окови и дирите стидни
по врата ни още от хомота стар;
нека таз свобода да ни бъде дар!
Нека. Но ний знаем, че в нашто недавно
свети нещо ново, има нещо славно,
що гордо разтупва нашите гърди
и в нас чувства силни, големи плоди;
защото там нейде навръх планината,
що небето синьо крепи с рамената,
издига се някой див, чутовен връх,
покрит с бели кости и със кървав мъх
на безсмъртен подвиг паметник огромен;
защото в Балкана има един спомен,
има едно име, що вечно живей
и в нашта исторья кат легенда грей,
едно име ново, голямо антично,
като Термопили славно, безгранично,
що отговор дава и смива срамът,
и на клеветата строшава зъбът.

О, Шипка!

Три деня младите дружини
как прохода бранят. Горските долини
трепетно повтарят на боя ревът.
Пристъпи ужасни! Дванайсетий път
гъсти орди лазят по урвата дива
и тела я стелят, и кръв я залива.
Бури подир бури! Рояк след рояк!
Сюлейман безумний сочи върха пак
и вика: "Търчете! Тамо са раите!"
И ордите тръгват с викове сърдити,
и "Аллах!" гръмовно въздуха разпра.
Върхът отговаря с други вик: ура!
И с нов дъжд куршуми, камъни и дървье;
дружините наши, оплискани с кърви,
пушкат и отблъскват, без сигнал, без ред,
всякой гледа само да бъде напред
и гърди геройски на смърт да изложи,
и един враг повеч мъртъв да положи.
Пушкалата екнат. Турците ревът,
насипи налитат и падат, и мрът; -
Идат като тигри, бягат като овци
и пак се зарвъщат; българи, орловци
кат лъвове тичат по страшний редут,
не сещат ни жега, ни жажда, ни труд.
Щурмът е отчаян, отпорът е лют.
Три дни веч се бият, но помощ не иде,
от никъде взорът надежда не види
и братските орли не фърчат към тях.
Нищо. Те ще паднат, но честно, без страх -
кат шъпа спартанци под сганта на Ксеркса.
Талазите идат; всичките нащрек са!
Последният напън вече е настал.
Тогава Столетов, наший генерал,
ревна гороломно: "Млади опълченци,
венчайте България с лаврови венци!
на вашата сила царят повери
прохода, войната и себе дори!"
При тез думи силни дружините горди
очакват геройски душманските орди
бесни и шумещи! О, геройски час!
Вълните намират канари тогаз,
патроните липсват, но волите траят,
щикът се пречупва - гърдите остаят
и сладката радост до крак да измрът
пред цяла вселена, на тоз славен рът,
с една смърт юнашка и с една победа.
"България цяла сега нази гледа,
тоя връх висок е: тя ще ни съзре,
ако би бегали: да мрем по-добре!"
Няма веч оръжье! Има хекатомба!
Всяко дърво меч е, всякой камък - бомба,
всяко нещо - удар, всяка душа - плам.
Камъне и дървье изчезнаха там.
"Грабайте телата!" - някой си изкряска
и трупове мъртви фръкнаха завчаска
кат демони черни над черний рояк,
катурят, струпалят като живи пак!
И турците тръпнат, друг път не видели
ведно да се бият живи и умрели,
и въздуха цепят със демонский вик.
Боят се обръща на смърт и на щик,
героите наши като скали твърди
желязото срещат с железни си гърди
и фърлят се с песни в свирепата сеч,
като виждат харно, че умират веч...
Но вълни по-нови от орди дивашки
гълтат, потопяват орляка юнашки...
Йоще миг - ще падне заветният хълм.
Изведнъж Радецки пристигна със гръм.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
И днес йощ Балканът, щом буря зафаща,
спомня тоз ден бурен, шуми и препраща
славата му дивна като някой ек
от урва на урва и от век на век!

Hello I am Pixie. I am a < new oldie > or < old newbie > in Opensim. 😁
I was owner of < Pixel 3D > before I left Opensim a few years ago.
I am very happy to be back and thank everyone for the warm welcome. 😘A lot has changed while I've been away. I have to find my way around again. 🤔

Unfortunately, I can no longer manage to set up my own store. But I am planning a photo exhibition on the subject of “Original and fake - what would an Opensim snapshot look like in real life?”

The two pictures above are a first AI attempt with my profile picture.

At the moment I have returned to Kitely as a homeless person. Unfortunately, it's not worth having my own region as I can only spend very little time in Opensim. 😢 But maybe I'll move back to OSGrid when their technical issues are fixed.

I'm very excited about all the people I'll meet here in the future. 😊❤️😍
Have a nice evening.

hugs, Pixie

The Witches Hud - New Release - Fixes: For some reason the broom travelled backwards in opensimulator 0.9.2.2. I fixed this. Also the arcane meeting place was phantom even though it wasn't set to phantom. I fixed this too. Get yours here: login.friends-grid.com:8002:Textures Trees, & Scripts at the Wizardry store. :) NOTE: if you try too use arcane spell above 4000 it will kick you out. For some reason you must only cast [Arcane] between 1 and 3999 meters high. It's a limitation of opensimulator. *The huds are hidden at the Wizardry store behind a secret bookcase. :) PLEASE RESET THE SCRIPTS IN THE HUD AND THE ATTACHMENT SO THEY WORK. You may have to take the objects off and wear them a second time to imprint them with your id and start them working. Note: If you cast spells on your friend, please don't harass them. It only works on your land b/c you dont have rights on other peoples lands unless they allow it.
