“He closes his eyes, but then opens them again a moment later. Then he pushes himself into a sitting position against the headboard, like some kind of sexy phoenix rising from the ashes of the bedclothes.”

“All of my imaginings about Melody were like sketch drawings in comparison to the vividness of her. And I imagined a lot, but not her warmth, her sweetness, her love for her family, her plans to go into space engineering. She laughed from her belly and it would shake her whole body. She hummed when impatient, she cursed loudly when she was happy. I collected all these moments of her, filled in my thought sketches with color and texture, painted her portrait in my mind. I don't ever want to forget, I thought, the fullness of this woman.”

“Batya was the first link in the iron chain of the oprichniks. After him other links were attached, welded, fused into the Great Ring of the oprichnina, its sharp barbs pointed outward. With this ring His Majesty drew a sick, rotting, collapsing country together, he lassoed it like a wounded bear, dripping ichor blood. And the bear grew strong of bone and muscle, its wounds healed, it put on fat, its claws grew out. And we let its blood, blood that was rotten, poisoned by enemies. Now the roar of the Russian bear is heard by the entire world.”
