Petrel:

The petrel screamed and flew, like black lightning, arrow-like through the dark clouds, its wings swept up the droplets of the waves.

Look, it is flying like an elf, - a proud, black storm elf, - it is laughing, it is howling again... It laughs at the dark clouds, it is because of joy And howl!

This sensitive elf, - it has long heard sleepiness from the wrath of thunder, and it is convinced that dark clouds cannot cover the sun - yes, it cannot!

The author is full of enthusiasm, praising the sea and petrels. In the sinister environment of rolling dark clouds and rampant white terror, in stark contrast to the cowardice and fear of the seagulls, the sea turns up "white foam" and "waves", sings, and "rushes into the air" with a heroic fighting attitude "Welcome the thunder" and "extinguish the "golden arrow-like lightning" in its own abyss"; "the petrel flies proudly like black lightning", "sometimes its wings hit the waves, and sometimes it shoots straight into the sky like an arrow", Brave, passionate, angry, joyful, "full of desire for the storm", "convinced that the dark clouds cannot cover the sun."
