No, really, though. Just look.
A pair of twins, separated by decades. One fact, one fiction. The first used his talents to write music; the second, to cast spells. The same affinity for round glasses and striped ties. One Russian, the other British; their lives interwoven with magic and time, never to meet... yet after all these years, the resemblance is unmistakable.
Wow, the possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteIn Russian, doesn't "Shostakovich" mean "One who plays with mud"? And I think "Dmitri" translates as "Furry One". Interesting indeed...
ReplyDeleteAnother connection - music often casts spells or can hold one in a trance-like state. Hmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need a different Russian translator - that is, a translator of Russian - nationality is irrelevant.
