Thank you Yuliya Olegovna for these classes! I believe, we will never forget it.

When one loves one's Art (capitalization) no service seems (allitiration) too hard. That is our premise. This story shall draw a conclusion from it, and show at the same time that the (alliteration) premise is incorrect(alliteration).

Example: No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open t…

(Agatha Christie, The chocolate box) - It was my duty, but my flesh was weak. (Agatha Christie, The chocolate box) - The fog came pouring in at every chink and keyhole, and wasso danse without, that although the court was of the narrowest, the houses opposite were mere phantoms.
