59 There are also mythological images of the elements: earth, water (it was getting dark, drizzle was falling from the sky – ― сутеніло, з неба сіялася мжичка” [9, p. 9], silver threads of cold rain – ― срібні” нитки ”холодного дощу” [9, p. 10], clouds), air, fire (the moons Bella and Arabella, which were to merge in a destructive kiss – as the beginning of magic, darkness).
