It gave exactly what it needed to give. On a separate note, I’m in search of a new pair of wire spectacles, an appropriately translated copy of The Divine Tragedy and some old, New England money. For no particular reason, really. "

"“Il aimait la musique de cirque, les promenades en voiture dans la campagne, c’est-à-dire qu’en parcourant des yeux les champs, les hêtrées, en écoutant l’orchestre de Bouglione, il paraissait heureux.”
➡️ “He liked circus music, long drives in the countryside… running his eyes across the countryside, the beach groves, listening to Bouglione’s music, he seemed happy.”" — Aug 13, 2025 09:54PM

“He did not stop on the porch, either, but went quickly down the steps. Filled with rapture, his soul yearned for freedom, space, vastness. Over him, the heavenly dome, full of quiet, shining stars, hung boundlessly. From the zenith to the horizon, the still-dim Milky Way stretched its double strand. Night, fresh and quiet, almost unstirring, enveloped the earth. The white towers and golden domes of the church gleamed in the sapphire sky. The luxuriant autumn flowers in the flowerbeds near the house had fallen asleep until morning. The silence of the earth seemed to merge with the silence of the stars, the mystery of the earth touched the mystery of the stars... Alyosha stood gazing and suddenly, as if had been cut down, threw himself to the earth.”
