If roses are red, and violets are blue, then what the hell is colour violet?
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume. Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI

Zeppelin
The term zeppelin is a genericized trademark that originally referred to airships manufactured by the German Zeppelin Company, which pioneered dirigible design in the early years of the twentieth century. The word Luftschiff, German for "airship", usually prefixed their crafts' names.
In modern common usage, the terms Zeppelin, dirigible and airship are used interchangeably for any type of rigid airship, with the term blimp alone used to describe non-rigid airships. Although the blimp also qualifies as a "dirigible", the term is seldom used with blimps. In modern technical usage, airship is the term used for all aircraft of this type, with Zeppelin referring only to aircraft of that manufacture, and blimp referring only to non-rigid airships.

პროლოგი
თითქოს კოშმარულ სიზმარში ვიყავი გამომწყვდეული, უნდა მერბინა, სანამ სუნთქვა მეყოფოდა, მაგრამ დაღლილობისგან მუხლი მეკვეთებოდა. ძალაგამოლეული ძლივძლივობით მოვიკვლევდი გზას ბრბოში. კოშკის დიდი საათის ისრები კი არ ჩერდებოდა - უმოწყალოდ, შეუბრალებლად მიიწევდა სავალალო აღსასრულისკენ.
