The night was rapidly approaching ; and already , at the cry of " Moccoletti ! " repeated by the shrill voices of a thousand vendors , two or three stars began to burn among the crowd . It was a signal . At the end of ten minutes fifty thousand lights glittered , descending from the Palazzo di Venezia to the Piazza del Popolo , and mounting from the Piazzo del Popolo to the Palazzo di Venezia . It seemed like the fete of jack-o ' - lanterns . It is impossible to form any idea of it without having seen it . Suppose that all the stars had descended from the sky and mingled in a wild dance on the face of the earth ; the whole accompanied by cries that were never heard in any other part of the world .
Ночь быстро приближалась; и уже при крике «Мокколетти!» repeated by the shrill voices of a thousand vendors, two or three stars began to burn among the crowd. Это был сигнал. At the end of ten minutes fifty thousand lights glittered, descending from the Palazzo di Venezia to the Piazza del Popolo, and mounting from the Piazzo del Popolo to the Palazzo di Venezia. Это было похоже на праздник фонарей из тыквы. Невозможно составить о нем какое-либо представление, не увидев его. Предположим, что все звезды сошли с неба и смешались в диком танце на лице земли; все это сопровождалось криками, которых никогда не было слышно ни в одной другой части мира.
