Quote by B.J. Daniels

“It was on a night like this in 1967 that he’d first seen them. The memory was too fresh. He cursed himself for letting his thoughts take that particular path. “Don’t be a damned fool,” he said out loud, needing to hear something, even his own voice. “They aren’t out there.” And yet every fiber of his being knew better. They were here again. It was his only thought as he turned and tried to run, knowing it was a fool thing to do in the dark …”

“Enquanto aquele assovio se derretia na escuridão e girava em torno de si, violento, seco e desconhecido, os dois sentiam essa imensidão que não tem fim, forte, distante e resistente, que os cobria por todos os lados, estendida para mais longe do que pensavam e com mais profundidade do que podiam imaginar. O horror. O ar transparente, portador de todas as surpresas. O corpo que não tem limite, que ama e que odeia, e não esquece. O que pertence. Enraizado no tempo até o mais profundo de seu ser. Amor e silêncio. Violência e fúria. Mas, antes de tudo e sobretudo: resignação.”

“When he reached home Prince Andrei began thinking of his life in Petersburg during those last four months, as if it were something new. He recalled his exertions and solicitations, and the history of his project of army reform, which had been accepted for consideration and which they were trying to pass over M silence simply because another, a very poor one, had already been prepared and submitted to the Emperor. He thought of the meetings of a committee of which Berg was a member. He remembered how carefully and at what length everything tele-ing to form and procedure was discussed at those meetings, and how sedulously and promptly all that related to the gist of the business was evaded. He recalled his labours on the Legal Code, and how painstak-ingly he had translated the articles of the Roman and French codes into Russian, and he felt ashamed of himself. Then he vividly pictured to himself Bogucharovo, his occupations in the country, his journey to Ryazan, he remembered the peasants, and Dron the village elder, and mentally applying m them the Personal Rights he had divided into paragraphs, he felt astonished that he could have spent so much time on such useless work.”
