# Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter II. MYTHOLOGICAL, part 15, sentence 62

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
We will now turn from their forms, so constantly introduced into the skazka-drama, to some of the supernatural figures which are not so often brought upon the stage--to those mythical beings of whom (numerous as may be the traditions about them) the regular "story" does not so often speak, to such personifications of abstract ideas as are less frequently employed to set its conventional machinery in motion.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** We, embodiments · **What happens:** turn, introduce, not bring, be, not speak, employ · **To what, where:** forms, skazka drama, supernatural figures, traditions, conventional machinery, motion · **Speech:** someone speaks here
