RETURN TO HOME
"The room itself had nothing remarkable about it. . . but from the window one could clearly see the lake with its cloud and its castle, in motionless and perfect correlation of happiness. Without reasoning, without considering, only entirely surrendering to an attraction the truth of which consisted in its own strength, a strength which he had never experiences before. Vasily Ivanovich in one radiant second realized that here in this little room with that view, beautiful to the verge of tears, life would at last be what he had always wanted it to be. "
