Katerina's monologue in Ostrovsky's drama "The Thunderstorm"

Why don't people fly? ... I say, why don’t people fly like birds? You know, sometimes I feel like I'm a bird. When you stand on a mountain, you feel the urge to fly. That's how she would run up, raise her hands and fly. Something to try now?...

I can’t sleep, I keep imagining some kind of whisper: someone is talking to me so affectionately, like a dove cooing.
