Dragging my feet, I left my kin; dragging my thoughts, I left God, dignity and freedom; dragging my days, I lived for twenty four years.
Apollon Bezobrazov was entirely in the present. The present was like a golden wheel, with neither top nor bottom, which the perfection of the world was spinning pointlessly, without plan and free of charge, on which someone invisible stood, ravished from the world by his horrifying happiness.
In his presence, everything turned to stone, as though he was Medusa.
