While our steamer was lying at the landing at Kazan I noted a chocolate brown house with yellow window shut¬ ters and a green roof; a lavender house with a shining tin roof; a crimson house with an emerald roof; a sky blue house with a red roof; an orange house with an olive roof; a house painted a bright metallic green all over; a house diversified with dark blue, light blue, red green and chocolate brown; and, finally, a most extraordinary building which dis¬ played the whole chromatio scalo within the compass of three stories and an attic. What permanent effect, if any, la pro¬ duced upon the optic nerves of the in¬ habitants by tho habitual contemplation of their brilliantly colored and sharply contrasted dwellings I am unable to say; but I no longer wonder that “prekrasni,” the Russian word for “beautiful," means literally “very red.’’—George Kerman in The Ck -Jury.
