Edgar Allan PoE. Sphinx (№ 434394)

My favorite topic of conversation was folk signs - at that time I was ready to prove their truth almost with foam at the mouth. We have had long and heated discussions on this subject; my friend argued that all this was just empty superstition, but I objected that the premonitions that arise in the people completely involuntarily - that is, without any specific reason - necessarily contain a grain of truth and undoubtedly deserve attention.
