“My roses are white (мои розы белые),” it answered (ответил он); “as white as the foam of the sea (/такие же/ белые, как морская пена), and whiter than the snow upon the mountain (и белее, чем снег в горах: «на горах»). But go to my brother (/но/ отправляйся: «пойди» к моему брату) who grows round the old sun-dial (который растет возле: «вокруг» старых солнечных часов; dial — циферблат, круговая шкала), and perhaps he will give you what you want (и, возможно, он даст тебе то, что ты хочешь).”

But go to my brother (но отправляйся: «иди» к моему брату) who grows beneath the Student’s window (который растет под окном Студента), and perhaps he will give you what you want (и, возможно, он даст тебе то, что ты хочешь).”
