“People, lions, eagles and partridges, antlered deer, geese, spiders, silent fish inhabiting the waters, starfish and those not visible to the eye -in short, all living things, all living things, all living things have completed their sad round and are extinct...For thousands of years already the earth has not borne upon itself a single living being and this poor moon lights its lamp in vain. The cranes no longer awaken with a cry in the meadows, nor are the june bugs heard in the linden groves. Cold, cold, cold. Empty, empty, empty. Eerie, eerie, eerie.”

Why? And the whole world, all of life, seemed to Ryabovich to be an incomprehensible, aimless jest.”
