Vlas Mikhaĭlovich Doroshevich, The Way of the Cross — Along the Old Road (1916)
“ They are building barracks in Dovsk. Only on the eighteenth of October are they beginning to build barracks. During the week, since I passed last along this road, all has changed. In the south it is still warm, but here it is cold. The morning frosts have changed everything. The forests have become clear, and it has become light in them. The birch trees stand like dark skeletons. The ground under them is a golden carpet of leaves. There is work going on on the road. People are working and Nature is working. Near Cherikof they are building barracks. ”
