47353{ 65} CHAPTER VI"MY CONFESSION"--"MY RELIGION"--"WHAT IS ART?"
38027Where are you, where are you, Vanichka?
38027And what is going to happen to the manor and the house after my death?
38027And who knows better than I the life of Leo Nikolaevich?
38027But the question is, have I done it well, and is the new material suitable?
38027But what was that_ home_?
38027But why?
38027Does the pleasure of taste make one cry?
38027Go back to the country and give up everything?
38027Have n''t you the strength to rouse yourself?
38027I seemed to be asking myself: what, then, is important?
38027I want, Sasha, to leave to you alone everything, do you see?
38027If, for instance, you take a page of the magazine_ Vyestnik Europa_ as a measure, how many full pages, approximately, ought I to write?
38027See P. A. Boulanger,_ Tolstoy and Chertkov_, Moscow, 1911; A. M. Khiryakov,"Who is Chertkov?"
38027This was particularly the case in 1864, when he broke his arm, and I wrote to him in Moscow:"Why have you lost heart in everything?
38027To- morrow I shall be sixty- nine years old, a long life; well,_ what_ out of that life would be of interest to people?

38027When I had finished it, I sent it off to Moscow, and I wrote to my husband:"How have you decided about the novel?
38027Why have you lost heart and courage?
38027were several chapters of_ In What do I Believe?_ which Tolstoy had to rewrite.
38027{ 72} Who can tell?
40260Who is it?
40260Am I posing to myself?
40260And indeed what use am I to them, what use are all my sufferings?
40260But does this mean that we too must say nothing about Tolstoy''s heroic life and conceal his moral rectitude now, when he is not among us?
40260But the children?
40260But the others?
40260But what creature is there to whom I could come close like that?
40260But what is to be done?
40260But who is the being to whom I could snuggle up and on whose arms I could weep and complain?
40260Can a man regret something when he_ could not_ act differently?"
40260Change?
40260Did he keep a diary and afterwards himself destroy it, not wishing to reveal to anyone the sufferings to which he was subjected?
40260Go away?
40260Go away?
40260He caught hurriedly at my arm on meeting me, and said with tears in his eyes:''Ivan Vassilyevitch, darling, what is she doing to me?
40260He makes concessions to her through fear of sinning against love; but in doing this is he not sinning against the great love?
40260How is it they do not see that, not to speak of suffering, I have had no life at all for these three years?
40260How make it grow?
40260Humility?
40260I write and ask myself: Is it true?
40260Is not Sofya Andreyevna such a woman, and is not Leo Nikolaevitch in slavery to her?
40260Love?
40260Speak to her?
40260Then what is this?
40260Tried to write, it would n''t go.... How be a shining light when I am still full of weakness which I have not the strength to overcome?
40260Well, but what if we were all free from families who disagree with us?
40260Were the missing diaries lost in some other way, if indeed they ever existed?
40260What did she do then that was new and not to be expected from her previous behaviour?
40260What is she doing to me?
40260What is wanted for preserving purity?
40260What is wanted for that?
40260What more can we expect of a man?
40260Where and how am I to keep my purity without privations, my humility without humiliation, and my love without hostility?
40260You ask me too, if I rejoice, at what do I rejoice, and what joy do I expect?
40260[ 3] In this connection I venture to quote here a small extract from my article entitled"Should the truth about Tolstoy''s going away be told?"
40260_ August 29, 1909_( from a diary).--Painful feeling and desire( a bad one?)
40260_ July 18, 1889_( from the letters).--"What do I want?

3631He repudiates science and art, he wants to send people back again into a savage state; so what is the use of listening to him and of talking to him?
3631What is to be done?
3631What to do? 3631 ART*** Transcribed from the 1887 Tomas Y. CrowellWhat to do?"
3631After a conflagration, one can warm one''s self, and light one''s pipe with a firebrand; but why declare that the conflagration is beneficial?
3631And such a man will never answer the question,"What is to be done?"
3631And this confession of a man''s obligation constitutes the gist of the third answer to the question,"What is to be done?"
3631And what is it necessary for me to do, in order to comply with the requirements imposed upon me by the demands of individual and universal welfare?
3631And what is to be done with the remaining eleven hours?
3631And why, apparently, should art not be of service to the people?
3631And, as we are indebted for all this marvellous progress to the division of labor, why not acknowledge it?
3631And, in fact, how am I to answer the question,"What is to be done?"
3631And, what then?
3631Before that time I had not been able to answer the question:"What is to be done?"
3631But what does it mean, that some people and their children toil, while other people and their children do not toil?
3631But what facts?
3631But what have we added to the popular_ bylini_[ the epic songs], legends, tales, songs?
3631But what have we taught them, and what are we now teaching them?
3631But who will make these boots and this calico?
3631Does not this peculiar good fortune arise from the fact that man can not and will not see his own hideousness?
3631First of all, in answer to the question,"What is to be done?"
3631For the uninitiated man the question immediately presents itself:"What are you talking about?
3631Had the question then stood as it stands before me now, after I have repented,--"What am I, so corrupt a man, to do?"
3631Hence I think, that the man who will honestly put to himself the question,"What is to be done?"
3631How can we fail to accept so very beautiful a theory?
3631How did this come to pass?
3631How, in this fashion, make recompense with that education and those talents, for what I have taken, and for what I still take, from the people?"
3631How, then, can the necessity for burdensome, oppressive toil be more profitable for people?
3631I often hear the questions of good young men who sympathize with the renunciatory part of my writings, and who ask,"Well, and what then shall I do?
3631In answer to the question, Would not this unaccustomed toil ruin that health which is indispensable in order to render service to the people possible?
3631It is very possible that this is so; but still the question remains, Of what nature is that division of labor which I behold in my human society?
3631More profitable for whom?
3631Our position is a very difficult one, but why not look at it squarely?
3631Precisely what to do?"
3631Surely I can not say,"Why do not you eat hay, when it is the indispensable food?"
3631Then how can this be more profitable for men?
3631Then, what is to be done?
3631These, then, are the answers which I have found for myself to the question,"What is to be done?"
3631They can in no wise solve the problem,"What to do?"
3631This is the lie of which we must not be guilty if we are to be in a position to answer the question:"What is to be done?"
3631This was the case with me; and then another, arising from the first answer to the question:"What is to be done?"
3631To the question,"What is it necessary to do?"
3631To the question,"Will it not seem strange to people if you do this?"
3631We have invented telegraphs, telephones, phonographs; but what advances have we effected in the life, in the labor, of the people?
3631What am I to do, now that I have finished my course in the university, or in some other institution, in order that I may be of use?"
3631What are we to do?
3631What does that power which has created and which leads me, demand of me and of every man?
3631What is the inference?
3631What music, what pictures, have we given to the people?
3631Why are they such fools as to give birth to children, when they know that there will be nothing for the children to eat?
3631Why is mankind an organism, or similar to an organism?"
3631Why is there nothing left of those sciences, and sophists, and Cabalists, and Talmudists, but words, while we are so exceptionally happy?
3631Why precisely these facts, and no others?
3631With regard to the question,"Is it necessary to organize this physical labor, to institute an association in the country, on my land?"

3631is it that division of labor which should exist?
36111''Was this life?'' 36111 Why are you so hated?"
36111Why wait ye,he asks in that wonderful rhapsody on"Silence"(7)"for Heaven to open at the strike of the thunderbolt?
36111( 1886), which expounds the passage in Luke iii:10, 11:"And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
36111( 30)"The Life of Tolstoy,"Later Years, p.   643   f. But in"What Then Must We Do?"
36111( also translated under the title"My Religion,"1884) and"What Then Must We Do?"
36111***** Altogether, did Tolstoy practice what he professed?
36111***** To what extent Tolstoy was a true Christian believer may best be gathered from his own writings,"What Do I Believe?"
36111After raising the question, How did the Greeks contrive to dignify and ennoble their national existence?
36111Again, in"Married"he answers the query, Shall women vote?
36111And if ye are not willing to be fates, and inexorable, how could ye conquer with me someday?
36111And if your hardness would not glance, and cut, and chip into pieces-- how could ye create with me some day?
36111And is it not natural to seek that material among the largest literary apparitions of the age?
36111And so the question arises, Whence shall the conscience of the ruler- man derive its distinctions between the Right and the Wrong?
36111And the happiness of the spirit is this: to be anointed and consecrated by tears as a sacrificial animal;--knew ye that before?"
36111And where in the meanwhile is the lost leader?
36111Are ye not my brethren?
36111But how to detect in the deepest recesses of the soul the echoes of universal life and give outward resonance to their faint reverberations?
36111But in reality do we know more concerning Life than did our ancestors?
36111But what is"beautiful"?
36111By one''s own pain one''s own knowledge increaseth;--knew ye that before?
36111For what compels an ambitious imagination to arrest itself at the goal of the superman?
36111Has the dam burst apart and will they all be swallowed by the ocean?
36111Have not civilizations risen and fallen according as they were shaped by this or that class of nations?
36111He is gone to find a way out of the woods-- what can have become of him?
36111His views on Art are plainly and forcibly expounded in the famous treatise on"What is Art?"
36111If it be a heinous deed he is brooding, why does he pause in its execution?
36111In the tumultuous agitation of his conscience, the crucial and fundamental questions, Why Do We Live?
36111Is it a legitimate ambition of the race to mark time on the stand which it has reached and to entrench itself impregnably in its present mediocrity?
36111May we not perchance steep our souls in light that flows from another source than science?
36111Might he not sweeten his lot after the same prescription?
36111One can hardly peruse it without asking: Was Strindberg insane?
36111So if Truth is an alterable and shifting concept, must not morality likewise be variable?
36111Sociologically the most important of these is a book on the problem of property, entitled,"What Then Must We Do?"
36111The bell strikes twelve-- they wonder is it noon or night?
36111The discipline of suffering,--tragical suffering,--know ye not that only this discipline has heretofore brought about every elevation of man?"
36111Then questions, eager and calamitous, pass in whispers among them: Has the leader lost his way?
36111Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht?
36111What saith the deep midnight?
36111What, then, questions the persevering pursuer of the final verities, shall we do in order that we may press nearer to Truth?
36111Why is there so little fate in your looks?
36111Why is there so much disavowal and abnegation in your hearts?
36111Why should it not run on beyond that first terminal?
36111Why so hard?
36111Why so soft, so unresisting, and yielding?
36111Why so soft?

813And how does he endure it? 813 And tell me, is he afraid to die?
813Are you alone? 813 Do you remember Himbut, Lyovotchka?
813Fed them? 813 Has papa considered that mama may not survive the separation from him?"
813Have you gone and fed them again?
813I wanted to go and be with him; but I thought, how can I? 813 Is n''t it all the same whether it''s''Circle of Reading''or''For Every Day''?
813Is she a good girl? 813 It will be my turn to die soon; a year sooner or later, what does it matter?
813Killed it?
813Oh, do you want to marry her?
813Then what are they licking their chops for?
813Then why ca n''t the dog find it? 813 Trudge, trudge?
813What are you going to wear, Lyovotchka?
813What brought you here, youngsters? 813 What difficulty is there in writing about how an officer fell in love with a married woman?"
813What, has your wife sent you again?
813Where are YOU off to?
813Why not''writer of the land''? 813 ''How can it ever be all right?'' 813 A civil servant? 813 A man of business?... 813 A philosopher? 813 A soldier? 813 A squire? 813 All of them? 813 And I began to think:Who am I?
813And are not all these rules of politeness bad, if they do not extend to all sorts of people?
813And at night, too?
813And is not what we call politeness an illusion, and a very ugly illusion?
813And what can I do for you?"
813And what is the price of a set of lancets and bleeding- cups for human use?"
813And what was the result?

813Do you know what he answered?
813Does he say not?
813FET, STRAKHOF, GAY"WHAT''S this saber doing here?"
813Got used to it, you say?
813He looked at me with astonishment and said:"You surely do n''t find me heavy?
813I asked him:"And now which do you think?"
813I thought of the day when he had given me a bad time at riding in the woods as a boy, and kept asking,"You''re not tired?"
813If so, why did he take my sister Sasha and Dr. Makowicki with him?
813Is n''t that just the same as Forna?
813Is that not the reason why he was always so unwilling to talk about it?
813Is there any need of proof for that?
813Lieutenant Himbut, who was forester near Yasnaya?
813Only the Kuzminsky overcoat again today?
813Or did he suddenly desire, when he was eighty- three, and weak and helpless, to realize the idea of a pilgrim''s life?
813Perhaps mama would not notice?
813Question: Which is the most"beastly plague,"a cattle- plague case for a farmer, or the ablative case for a school- boy?
813Seeing my brother Andrei''s children, who were staying at Yasnaya, in the zala one day, he asked with some surprise,"Whose children are these?"
813Tell me, did you ever have anything to do with women?"
813The allusion here is to the last words of Griboyehof''s famous comedy,"The Misfortune of Cleverness,""What will PRINCESS MARYA ALEXEVNA say?"]
813The founder of a new religious doctrine?
813The old lady held up her hands in horror and said:"Gracious Heavens, Lyoff Nikolaievich, have you come to such a pitch of weakness?"
813Was Lyoff Nikolaievich Tolstoy likely of his own accord to have recourse to the protection of the law?
813Was my father afraid of death?
813Was that like the man who so loved his fellows and so well knew the human heart?
813Well and hearty?
813Well, you marry; and what then?
813What am I?"
813What are you?
813What are you?"
813What did it matter to a boy of seven what his father was writing?

813What is there left to do nowadays?

813Why was it that Masha was able to do this, while no one else even dared to try?
813Why was it that, as Turgenieff himself put it, his"constellation"and my father''s"moved in the ether with unquestioned enmity"?
813Why, of course; what else can one do?
813Why, when women or old men enter the room, does every well- bred person not only offer them a seat, but give them up his own?
813Yes, yes, perhaps he''s not afraid; but still--"You say he struggles with the feeling?
55284''It is impossible,''he says,''to live looking at horrible ghosts,''but how does_ he_ know whether it''s horrible or not? 55284 And Béranger?"
55284And Garibaldi?
55284And Hugo?
55284Are you very interested to know?
55284But how would you reconcile Flerovsky''s theory, say, with the part played by the Normans in the history of Europe?
55284But you are neither a drunkard nor dissolute-- how do you come to have such dreams?
55284Did you know him?
55284Everyone?
55284How do you do?
55284How will you get out of that contradiction, inventor? 55284 Hugo?
55284I am told that you are very well read; is that true? 55284 In what?"
55284Is everyone like that?
55284Is n''t he a good writer, clever, exact, and with no exaggeration? 55284 The Normans?
55284What about sayings and proverbs?
55284What''s the matter? 55284 Why?"
55284You do n''t know? 55284 You do n''t love me?"
55284A long novel, written concisely, do you see?
55284All his life he feared and hated death, all his life there throbbed in his soul the"Arsamaxian terror"--must he die?
55284And at the same time peering at Death with his keen little eyes:"What art thou like?
55284And suddenly he asked me, exactly as if he were dealing me a blow:"Why do n''t you believe in God?"
55284And suddenly he got angry, and said, irritably, sternly, rapping his knee with his finger:"But you''re not a drinking man?
55284And the other dream?"
55284And what is beauty?
55284And what truths can there be, if there is death?"
55284But Daudet agrees, you know, you remember his Paul Astier?"
55284But yet why not write about it?
55284Did you really dream that, you did n''t invent it?
55284Do n''t you like it?"
55284Do you like his stories?"
55284Do you love your wife?
55284Do you think my son, Leo, has talent?
55284Have you known many of them?"
55284Have you read Weltmann?"
55284He laughed, and then, probably noticing that I was a little hurt by his distrust of me:"Are you hurt because I thought your dreams bookish?
55284He looked straight into my eyes and smiling repeated:"Why?"
55284He used to ask:"You do n''t like me?"
55284How do you like Sophie Andreyevna?
55284I always translated these words into:"How do you do?
55284I asked him:''But how then?
55284I do not know whether I loved him; but does it matter, love of him or hatred?
55284If you attained your freedom, what do you imagine would happen?
55284If you were free in your sense, what would bind you to life or to people?
55284Is Korolenko a musician?"
55284It''s a pity people do n''t read Lieskov, he''s a real writer-- have you read him?"
55284Leo Nicolayevitch asked with interest:"Tell me, what is he like?"
55284Lord, thou creator of beauty, how art thou not ashamed?
55284Man has a thousand songs in his heart and is yet blamed for jealousy; is it fair?"
55284No?
55284Now he says:''Truth is not wanted''; quite true, what should he want truth for?
55284Old Romans, eh, Liovushka?
55284On the bottom with the shovel, eh?
55284Perhaps jealousy comes from the fear of degrading one''s soul, of being humiliated and ridiculous?
55284Someone, always stolidly stupid as a flat- iron, asked:"What do you say?"
55284That is the obvious conclusion....""Why coiffeur?"
55284The groom is there, is n''t he?
55284The questions:"Do you know him?
55284Then he smoothed his beard with the knotted fingers of his strong peasant''s hand, and repeated gently:"Yes, for what sin?"]
55284There''s pleasure for me, and for you there''s not much sense in it-- but still, how do you do?"
55284They pray to Him from habit, and in their secret soul they hate Him-- why does He drive them over the earth from one end to the other?
55284This evening, during our walk, he took my arm and said:"The boots are marching-- terrible, eh?
55284To- day in the Almond Park he asked Anton Tchekhov:"You whored a great deal when you were young?"
55284VIa"You like Andersen''s Tales?"
55284Was it a broad shovel?"
55284We carry it in ourselves as an inevitable punishment-- a punishment for what sin?"
55284Well, you may say beauty?
55284What bird is it?"
55284What follows thee hereafter?
55284What for?
55284What good is that to anyone, how I see that tower or sea or Tartar-- what interest or use is there in it?"
55284What is he like?
55284What kind of language does he use?
55284What will he do to- morrow?
55284What''s there in common between the French and us?
55284When I answered that Kuvalda had been drawn from life, he said:"Tell me, where did you see him?"
55284When I said that Gogol was probably influenced by Hoffmann, Stern, and perhaps Dickens, he glanced at me and asked:"Have you read that somewhere?
55284Where was he born?"
55284Who could desire her as she is?"
55284Why did n''t he sin with a beautiful, healthy woman?"
55284Why should not Nature make an exception to her law, give to one man physical immortality-- why not?
55284Wilt thou destroy me altogether, or will something in me go on living?"
55284Would not martyrdom probably in some measure justify death, make her more understandable, acceptable from the external, from the formal point of view?
55284XXVII He likes putting difficult and malicious questions: What do you think of yourself?
55284XXXIII I read him some scenes from my play,_ The Lower Depths;_ he listened attentively and then asked:"Why do you write that?"
55284XXXIV"What is the most terrible dream you have ever had?"
55284You hammer away like a parrot at one word, freedom, freedom; but what is the sense of it?
55284You know_ Fruits of Enlightenment_?
55284You understood that she wanted you?"
55284You''ve seen many drunken women?
55284You, of course, do n''t agree with this?
55284[ 1] Once he asked:"Are you fond of me, Alexey Maximovitch?"
49435Do you know why I like you better than the others?
49435Then what am I still searching for? 49435 We must not go in search of one another, but we must all seek God.... You say:''Together it is easier.''--What?
49435Where are you, Pain? 49435 Where shall I go to be safe?"
49435[ 10] Perhaps; but to what point was this isolated faith able to assure Tolstoy of happiness? 49435 [ 10] Who can fail to understand the influence, in the shaping of Tolstoy, of all these humble souls?
49435[ 12] Had he still doubts-- he, so full of faith? 49435 [ 14] What time does he choose, this seer and prophet, for his announcement of the new era of love and happiness?
49435[ 14] Which of us would not endorse these generous words? 49435 [ 20] Why did he not realise this agreement?
49435[ 7] This appeal of a voice of supplication, which still has hope-- will it not be heard? 49435 [ 9] How many have found themselves together under the ray which falls from the dome?
49435(_ Confessions._)[ 16]"''You are always talking of energy?
49435(_ What shall we do?_) In the same book Tolstoy gives us a portrait of Sutayev, and records a conversation with him.
49435(_ What shall we do?_)[ 2] Tolstoy has many times expressed his antipathy for the"ascetics, who live for themselves only, apart from their fellows."
49435(_ What shall we do?_)[ 7] For that matter, he wished to leave before the end of the first act.
49435(_ What shall we do?_)[ 8] The peasant- revolutionist Bondarev would have had this law recognised as a universal obligation.
49435And love itself: how was he to behave with regard to love?
49435And who can fail to see that Tolstoy''s conception is fundamentally fruitful and vital, in spite of its Utopianism and a touch of puerility?
49435Are we to take no account of this, and plunge them implacably into the truth that kills them?
49435As early as April, 1879, he wrote to Fet:"_ The Decembrists_?
49435As if our coteries could be the measure of a genius?
49435Beside this superhuman sensation, what were his losses at play and his word of honour?...
49435But how become a part of the people and share its faith?
49435But how could he?
49435But in what God?
49435But in what?
49435But what need to think at all?
49435But when, then, will they begin to live?
49435But why waste time in speaking of that which he can not understand?
49435Critics have not sufficiently remarked the moving appeal to women which terminates_ What shall we do?_ Tolstoy had no sympathy for modern feminism.
49435Did Tolstoy still condemn them?
49435Did he not modify his opinion of revolutionaries?
49435Does Tolstoy believe in the divinity of Christ?
49435Does it not profess to be founded upon some sort of economic science, whose laws absolutely rule the progress of the world?
49435Does this mean the abdication of the Russian people?
49435Had he done wrong to speak?
49435He recalls their days of honest labour, healthy and fatiguing...."''It is beautiful,''he murmurs.... Why am I not one of these?
49435Here.... Well, you have only to persist.--And Death, where is Death?
49435His logic was heroic:"I am always astonished by these words, so often repeated:''Yes, it is well enough in theory, but how would it be in practice?''
49435Ho-- o-- o?
49435How distinguish between its many aspects, its contradictory orders?
49435How is a man to oppose this army of evil?
49435How is it they are able, here, to retain their feelings of hostility and vengeance, and the lust of destroying their fellows?
49435How then should the object of labour be an object of suffering for the labourer?
49435I felt the desire of something very great, very beautiful.... What?
49435If I know the road to my house, and if I stagger along it like a drunken man, does that show that the road is bad?
49435If so, when is the expression of evil to be avoided?
49435In what quality does he invoke him?
49435In_ What shall we do?_ he did not as yet dare to lay hands on Beethoven or on Shakespeare.
49435Is it enough, then, to be acquainted with those formulæ of wisdom recorded in the volume of religion?
49435Is there not above all a truth which, as Tolstoy says,"is open to love"?
49435It is higher than art: for who, in reading it, thinks of literature?
49435Let us see if she is going to reach that B?...
49435Need we say that he rejected one and all?
49435Now you have faith: why then are you so unhappy?"
49435Or is the artist to soothe mankind with consoling lies, as Peer Gynt, with his tales, soothes his old dying mother?
49435Setting aside his literary studies, what could he well know of contemporary art?
49435Shall I ask of what party Shakespeare was, or Dante, before I breathe the atmosphere of his magic or steep myself in its light?
49435The word of the humble peasant, whose heart was his only guide, had led him back to God.... To what God?
49435Then what is the visible life, our individual existence?
49435Was he not capable of sacrificing his affections to his God?
49435Was he not strong enough?
49435Was love of family, to come first, or love of all humanity?
49435Were they lasting, this peace and joy that he then boasted of possessing?
49435What do they know of the people?
49435What does Tolstoy complain of in Beethoven?
49435What does it mean?
49435What does it signify to him that he should sacrifice himself to the future-- and that nothing of his work should remain?
49435What is it to me if Tolstoy is or is not of my party?
49435What is the artistic significance of the religious ideal which he proposes?
49435What is the worth of judgments upon a world which is closed to the judge?
49435What is there perverse in all this?
49435What was the solution?
49435What was this faith which knew nothing of reason?
49435When is the expression of goodness to be imitated?
49435Where does not good co- exist with evil?
49435Where shall He be found?
49435Who are the People?
49435Who can even say that his faith in non- resistance to evil was not at length a little shaken?
49435Who is the malefactor and who is the hero?
49435Who knows?
49435Who was brave, and whom did he love?
49435Who will define them for me-- liberty, despotism, civilisation, barbarism?
49435Why must Russia play the part of the chosen people?
49435Why?
49435Would that be life?"
49435Yet who more than Tolstoy distrusts"abstract love"?
49435[ 12] What, then, does he really intend?
49435[ 17] How then could he constrain her, not believing, to modify her life, to sacrifice her fortune and that of her children?

49435_ What is Art?_ appeared in 1897- 98; but Tolstoy had been pondering the matter for more than fourteen years.
49435_ What shall we do?_( 1884- 86) is the expression of this second crisis; a crisis far more tragic than the first, and far richer in consequences.
49435he was saying to himself;"it was not like this when I was running by and shouting.... How was it I did not notice it before, this illimitable depth?
49435was such a thing possible?
52242''Ah, mon Dieu, pourquoi ne l''avez vous pas nommé?
52242''And what is drawing for?
52242''Art, poetry?''...
52242''But how can I get out of this scrape?''
52242''But my_ perception_ of God, of him whom I seek,''asked I of myself,''where has that perception come from?''
52242''But what is it for in summer, when not yet cut down?''
52242''But why draw figures?''
52242''For what do we who love truth, strive after in life?
52242''How can a man live in peace,''I asked,''so long as he has not solved the question of a future life?''
52242''How can men do such things?''
52242''How was it, you told us, your Aunt had her throat cut?''
52242''If I give you five rolls, and you eat one of them, how many rolls will you have left?''...
52242''In what respect does Russia differ from other countries?
52242''Indeed?
52242''Lyóf Nikoláyevitch,''said Fédka to me( I thought he was going again to speak about the Countess),''why does one learn singing?
52242''Mais comment est- ce que je puis me tirer de cette affaire?''
52242''No, really,''insisted Fédka;''why does a lime tree grow?''
52242''Of an evening we often play_ vint_[ a game similar to bridge]--do you?''
52242''So you will take each of us home?
52242''Then you consider that I educate my daughter badly?''
52242''What are you teaching him?''
52242''What is a stick for, and what is a lime tree for?''
52242''What is drawing for?''
52242''What is drawing for?''
52242''What is it?
52242''What is the matter with you?
52242''What on?''
52242''What shall we do if it leaps out... and comes at us?''
52242''What will you give us?''
52242''Where have you been?''
52242''Why did he sing a song when he was surrounded?''
52242''Why do n''t I do this?
52242''Why do you come here?''
52242''Why should I ask you, where I am to go?
52242''Why should I not say what I am convinced is true?''
52242''Why should he beat it?
52242''Wo n''t you walk a little longer?''
52242''Yes, what is a lime tree for?''
52242''You see those two horses grazing there,''he answered;''are they not laying up for a future life?''
52242''[ 52][ 51]_ What is Art?_ p. 54: Constable, London, and Funk and Wagnalls Co., New York.
52242''_ When shall I come home?_''God only knows.
52242*****''But perhaps I have overlooked something, or misunderstood something?
52242----How must I?
52242----what is it?
522421862 Even then the matter was not at an end, for on 7th January[ new style?]
52242Again the question: Why?
52242Again''God''?
52242Am I mistaken or not?
52242And how go on living?
52242And if he found nothing to cling to, what can I find?
52242And is not the trait of Sádo''s devotion admirable?
52242And lest the simple question should suggest itself: What do I know, and what can I teach?
52242And what does man do?
52242And what had I done during the whole thirty years of my conscious life?
52242And what happened?
52242And what''s the use of talking about them?
52242And why do such good people as you, and, most wonderful of all, such a being as my wife, love me?
52242And why should it not, once in a way, stop with a homeless soldier like Gordéy?
52242And why write well?''
52242And without remarking that we knew nothing, and that to the simplest of life''s questions: What is good and what is evil?
52242Art: exclusive or universal?
52242At this moment Ostáshkof, armed with a small switch, came running up, shouting:''Where are you getting to?
52242But I asked myself: What is that cause, that force?
52242But afterwards I thought,''Well, but what should my brother do to remove the putrefying body of the child from the house?
52242But how can one write now?
52242But joking apart, how is your Hafiz getting on?
52242But life had lost its attraction for me; so how could I attract others?
52242But what desire is there that can always be satisfied in spite of external conditions?
52242But what ground was there for laughter?
52242But what kind of knowledge?
52242But what shall we really carry away from the University?...
52242But where did the truth and where did the falsehood come from?
52242CHAPTER XI CONFESSION What is the meaning of life?
52242Can feelings of enmity, vengeance, or lust to destroy one''s fellow beings, retain their hold on man''s soul amid this enchanting Nature?
52242Can it be that people have not room to live in this beautiful world, under this measureless, starry heaven?
52242Can it be wondered at, that he came more and more to identify Government with all that is most opposed to enlightenment?
52242Described it, that is, as it is in reality?
52242Differently expressed, the question is: Why should I live, why wish for anything, or do anything?
52242Disregarding his niece''s question, he continued:''Write...''''But what are we to write, uncle?''
52242Do you hear?''
52242Do you remember Fabrice riding over the field of battle and understanding"nothing"?''
52242Do you remember, dear Aunt, how you made fun of me when I told you I was going to Petersburg''to test myself''?
52242Does it wish to manifest itself?
52242Does not the Crown money always stop somewhere?
52242Does nothing tell him there is here no cause for great rejoicing?
52242Et n''est- ce pas que le trait de dévouement de Sado est admirable?
52242First one and then the other?''
52242From whom indeed do we get sensuality, effeminacy, frivolity in everything, and many other vices, if not from women?
52242Have you read_ Pensées de Pascal_--_i.e._ have you read it recently with a mature head- piece?
52242He really was asking, What is Art for?
52242He tacitly asks: What is good and what is bad?
52242He was so pleased to have won them, and asked me so often,''What do you think?
52242His man, Alexis, would bring him his hunting- boots, and the Count would shout at him,''Why have you not dried them?
52242How am I to think of it?
52242How are they with you?
52242How can man fail to see this?
52242How can reason deny life, when it is the creator of life?
52242How could the monks help demanding the study of the Holy Scriptures, which stood on an immovable foundation?
52242How did he find it out?''
52242How does it express its wish?
52242How is it that among his friends not one was found to give to that supreme moment of life the character suitable to it?
52242How is it to be got?
52242How is it to be when we grow weak and die?
52242How is one to finish the matter decently?''
52242How, oh how, are we to see one another?
52242I am fond of pawns.... Do you know the new phrase now in fashion among the French--_vieux jeu_?
52242I did not understand that I with my question: How do you know what and how to teach?
52242I know you will cry out; but what''s to be done?
52242I often think, why, really, does one?''
52242I then understood that my answer to the question,''What is life?''
52242If Peter Afanásyevitch has no plans for September, will not he go with me to see the Kirghiz and their horses?
52242If she has deserted me, who is it that has done so?
52242If so, then how can we fail to be glad when death comes to us?''
52242If, for instance, some one was in the dumps about the weather, Tolstoy would say:''Is your weather behaving badly?''
52242In reality I was ever revolving round one and the same insoluble problem, which was: How to teach without knowing what?
52242In reply to the question: Do people need the_ beaux arts_?
52242In_ Sevastopol_, for instance, he exclaims:''Where in this tale is the evil shown that should be avoided?
52242Is it not astonishing to see one''s petitions granted like this the very next day?
52242Is it not my plain and sacred duty to care for the welfare of these seven hundred people for whom I must account to God?
52242Is nature to take her course, are we to... and nothing else?
52242Is that spring still alive?
52242It can also be expressed thus: Is there any meaning in life, that the inevitable death awaiting one, does not destroy?
52242It was, What will come of what I am doing to- day or shall do to- morrow-- What will come of my whole life?
52242N''est- ce pas étonnant que de voir ses voeux aussi exaucés le lendemain même?
52242Need I say that we would have laid down our lives for him?
52242On one occasion the hero is out hunting in the woods and asks himself:''How must I live so as to be happy, and why was I formerly not happy?''
52242Only why do you want so much land?
52242Or has it forgotten how to express itself?
52242Or tell me where are the limits of the one or the other?
52242Or when considering how the peasants might be prosperous, I suddenly said to myself,''But what business is it of mine?''
52242Or, when considering my plans for the education of my children, I would say to myself: What for?
52242People have asked, How can we find the degree of freedom to be allowed in school?
52242Pour faire plaisir à qui, voudrais- je devenir meilleur, avoir de bonnes qualités, avoir une bonne réputation dans le monde?
52242Que resterait- il pour moi si Dieu exauçait votre prière?
52242Read, Is it worth learning to?
52242Really, why should it be beaten?''
52242Shall we-- you and I and Borísof-- not have to take our swords down from their rusty nails?...
52242She was greatly revolted at what I told her, and rebuking me said,''Why did you not stop him?''
52242So how can they help believing in the destinies of the people and the Slavonic races... and all the rest of it?''
52242Some moments before his death he drowsed off, but awoke suddenly and whispered with horror:''What is that?''
52242Suffering?
52242Teach, What must I?
52242That happiness consists not in killing others, but in sacrificing oneself?''
52242That they may come to the despair that I feel, or else be stupid?
52242That when you look at it well and clearly, you wake with a start and say with terror, as my brother did:''What is that?''
52242The great questions, Tolstoy says, are:( 1) What must I teach?
52242The mathematician, hardly refraining from tears, kept saying:''Well, well, what of it?''
52242The old man asked in astonishment,''How could this monk, so unrestrained in many ways, deserve so great a reward?''
52242The whole village was surprised, and asked,''What has the priest told the Count, that has suddenly made him so fond of church- going?''
52242Then why go on making any effort?...
52242They shook hands when they said''How do you do?''
52242They were always expressed by the questions: What''s it for?
52242Thus Tolstoy for the second time found himself faced by the question: What is Art?
52242To Potémkin''s suggestion that he should do so, he replied:''What makes him think I will marry his strumpet?''
52242To please whom should I then wish to become better, to have good qualities and a good reputation in the world?
52242To what can one pray?
52242Tolstoy received a deputation, consisting of three of the leading peasants of the village, and asked them:''Well, lads, what do you want?''
52242Tourgénef writes to Fet: And now a plain question: Have you seen Tolstoy?
52242Under what circumstances, asks Tolstoy, can a pupil acquire knowledge most rapidly?
52242What about his_ Youth_, which was sent for your verdict?
52242What am I waiting for?''
52242What am I?
52242What are my relations to that which I call''God''?
52242What desire?
52242What do I mean by religious reverence?
52242What do you mean by''something or other''?
52242What do you think of the Polish business?
52242What does it lead to?
52242What for?
52242What if this be only a_ desire_ for love and not real love?
52242What is God, imagined so clearly that one can ask him to communicate with us?
52242What is that?''
52242What is the use of it?
52242What means have we of lifting this corner of the veil?...
52242What profit hath man of all his labour under the sun?...
52242What proves it?
52242What shall we be good for, and to whom shall we be necessary?"
52242What wo n''t she do afterwards?
52242What would be left to me if God granted your prayer?
52242What''s the good of looking?''
52242What''s to be done?
52242What?''
52242When describing that death, is it possible that you did not suffer from the horny indifference of good but unawakened human souls?
52242When shall I see you?
52242When will he turn his last somersault and stand on his feet?
52242When you meet some one carried on a stretcher, and ask,''Where from?''
52242Where am I to send the money to?...
52242Where are you getting to?''
52242Where did he get all this?
52242Where is she-- that mother?
52242Where is the good that should be imitated?
52242Where was he to take money from?
52242Where, in our day, can we get such faith in the indubitability of our knowledge as would give us a right to educate people compulsorily?
52242Which of these benefits does the railway bring to the peasant?
52242Whither?
52242Who ever before so described war?
52242Who has in his soul so immovable a_ standard of good and evil_ that by it he can measure the passing facts of life?''
52242Who has not wept over the story of Joseph and his meeting with his brethren?
52242Who is the villain, who the hero of the story?
52242Who said so?
52242Who was that some one?
52242Who will do the writing?''...
52242Whoever was it wrote_ The Cossacks_ and_ Polikoúshka_?
52242Whose fault is it, if not women''s, that we lose our innate qualities of boldness, resolution, reasonableness, justice, etc.?
52242Why are they current only among authors, and not among musicians, painters, and other artists?
52242Why are you so pale: are you ill?''
52242Why did you not tell us who it was?
52242Why do you beat him?
52242Why does Tolstoy not get rid of that nightmare?
52242Why should I love them, guard them, bring them up, or watch them?
52242Why should they live?
52242Why strive or try, since of what was Nicholas Tolstoy nothing remains his?
52242Why?
52242Why?
52242Will it not be a sin if, following plans of pleasure or ambition, I abandon them to the caprice of coarse Elders and stewards?
52242Will your brother be glad that I have done this?''
52242With such a task, how can she be logical?
52242With what must we sympathise and what must we reject?
52242Wo n''t you take up that work?
52242Would it not be all the same if one did not know them at all?
52242Would you feel no pity for him?''
52242Yet when one has learnt these stories only in childhood, and has afterwards partly forgotten them, one thinks: What good do they do us?
52242You consciously follow a definite road faithfully and undeviatingly; but are you really completely alien to the literature of indictment?

41119And I do n''t doubt your gullet hurts you when you cough so?
41119And besides,so he had thought at the same time,"who will hinder me from being happy in love for a woman, in enjoyment of family?"
41119And what ruined me? 41119 And why did you take this gentleman and me into this room, and not into the other?
41119And you have n''t any nightingales at all, have you?
41119Are n''t we playing for paper money?
41119Are n''t you asleep?
41119Are n''t you ready for something to eat?
41119Are you beside yourself? 41119 Are you dreaming, or not?"
41119Are you going to spend some time here, count?
41119As long as my father is alive, how can I think, your excellency? 41119 Better?
41119But I have n''t any stock, so how am I going to get dressing?
41119But are there not millions of other possible subdivisions from absolutely different standpoints, in other planes? 41119 But are you going to invite them down- stairs, mamasha?
41119But do n''t you like to take a walk on moonlight nights?
41119But how about that song of the Righi? 41119 But how can he settle accounts when we are getting into debt all the time?
41119But how? 41119 But if we do n''t then what''ll become of us,''slency?
41119But no,said he,"why should I mention her name?
41119But perhaps you would like to rest, count?
41119But still, how can they help giving?
41119But tell me, how can that be done?
41119But what did you mean by saying that it would last?
41119But what do you think,--has he much money?
41119But what is to be done for him now? 41119 But what will you go on?"
41119But when, then? 41119 But where did the Lord''s grain come from?
41119But who was that other letter from?
41119But why ca n''t you live there?
41119But why not, pray?
41119But you know you have money,--what do you do with it?
41119By the way, gentlemen, why do n''t you begin your game? 41119 Could you imagine that the young lady of the house gave me a rendezvous?"
41119Count them; are they all there? 41119 Did n''t you have any money?"
41119Did n''t you have some straw for feeding the cow? 41119 Did you call me, sir?"
41119Do we not know,the voice went on,"how he pandered to the lowest of the low, pandered to them for money?
41119Do you bid me take the children to their mamma?
41119Do you know the Juristen waltzes?
41119Do you still bid me refuse him something to drink?
41119Do you wish my father sent for, your excellency?
41119Do you wish_ vin ordinaire_?
41119Equality before the law? 41119 Every thing?"
41119For your excellency?
41119Four hundred and eighty against four hundred and eighty?
41119Get them for nothing?
41119Give me something to drink, brother; what is it you want?
41119Had he the violin with him?
41119Had n''t I better go home?
41119Have n''t you money enough?
41119Have you been at the opera lately?
41119Have you seen the improved stone cottages that I have been building at the new farm,--the one with the undressed walls?
41119He certainly would not seem so, would he?... 41119 He means,"says he,"how much will you give?"
41119Here is our place in the world; we are happy in it; we are accustomed to it, and the road and the pond-- where would the old woman do her washing? 41119 Here more than a year has passed since I have been seeking for happiness in this course, and what have I found?
41119Hey? 41119 How are you feeling?"
41119How are_ my_ affairs, your excellency? 41119 How can I appear before you without it,''slency?
41119How can I think of any one? 41119 How can we escape?
41119How can we live through the winter here? 41119 How could such as we help being poor, sir,[10] your excellency?
41119How did she die?
41119How did they dare? 41119 How do you do, Yepifán?"
41119How does he manage to not hit any one with his spurs? 41119 How does this go, Lízanka?
41119How is it possible, sir, for a seignorial peasant to make a noise about his money? 41119 How is it you have no grain?
41119How make it easier? 41119 How many horses have you in all?"
41119How much sherry is there? 41119 How should I have ventured to detain him?"
41119How so,--why should you?
41119How so?... 41119 How will you find one?"
41119How would you have it?
41119I am very desirous of playing with you.... Say, will you play, or not?
41119I beg of you, count,pursued the cavalryman,"would n''t you like to come in with me?
41119I can not bear to see him in this plight; but how extricate him? 41119 I can not permit such a one as_ he_ is,"says he,"to say that I am not"--How did he express himself?
41119I have ordered my travelling- case brought; what do you say to that?
41119I say, Fyédya,said he, hesitating,"I reckon you wo n''t want your new boots now; let me have them?
41119I suppose you go to walk a good deal, do n''t you?
41119Is it cold out doors?
41119Is it possible that my dreams about the ends and duties of my life are all idle nonsense? 41119 Is it possible?
41119Is n''t it just the same thing? 41119 Is n''t it rather early?"
41119Is n''t she willing?
41119Is n''t that equal to nine paper rubles?
41119Is n''t that the same thing? 41119 Is n''t that too much?"
41119Is not this a dream?
41119Iván at home?
41119Lie to you,''slency? 41119 Maybe you have promised them to some one else?"
41119Nevertheless, you must send him to school, for now you are at home, and he has plenty of time,--do you hear? 41119 No colts?"
41119No, but what do you think? 41119 No, to Davidka Byélui''s or Kazyól''s-- what is his name?"
41119Now I should like to know where he would need them?
41119Now do n''t you think you had better put on the net?
41119Now he ca n''t be dead, can he? 41119 Now tell me, do you do this way on purpose?
41119Now, are n''t you ashamed, Davidka, to bring your mother to this?
41119Now, what are you screaming like that for? 41119 Now, who can that be?"
41119Now, why did you do that?
41119Now?
41119O Father in heaven,she thought,"is it possible that I have lost my youth and my happiness, and that they will never return?...
41119One hundred and twenty to one hundred and twenty?
41119Shall I stay, then?
41119Shall I tell you what happened?
41119Shall we play for odds?
41119So these are all your horses?
41119So you''re jealous, are you?
41119Tell me, has my carriage come?
41119Tell me, please, if it would be more profitable to go to teaming than farming at home?
41119That is true, is n''t it?
41119That is, you want to get a wife for him? 41119 That?
41119The cornet Polózof? 41119 Then she screamed and ran away?"
41119Then you will not?
41119Then, why do n''t you take hold of something else? 41119 To send him off as a soldier-- why?
41119To send him to Siberia, as Yakof suggests, against his will, would that be good for him? 41119 Trump Ilyin''s instead: what would be the use of trumping mine?"
41119Two hundred and forty against two hundred and forty?
41119We are mere peasants; how could we be so presuming?
41119Well now, how about_ her_?
41119Well, Iván, why on earth did n''t you tell me about this before?
41119Well, and how are you, my dear?
41119Well, are we to play or not, Mikháïlo Vasílyitch?
41119Well, are you tired?
41119Well, are your brothers going to take out relays of horses for the post?
41119Well, but how do you like the opera nowadays?
41119Well, did n''t I tell you that I would pay the first of the month?
41119Well, did she get over it?
41119Well, did you find him?
41119Well, did you give him some clothes?
41119Well, do many like him come round here?
41119Well, do they live harmoniously?
41119Well, father Mitri Mikolayévitch, what are you going to say about my boys''proposal?
41119Well, have you been losing, brother, hey?
41119Well, have you been up long, Mikháïlo Vasílyitch?
41119Well, have you had dinner yet?
41119Well, how about Lablache?
41119Well, how are you going to plough when you have disposed of this horse?
41119Well, how is he?
41119Well, how is it, Turbin? 41119 Well, how is the musician?"
41119Well, how much do you earn in the summer?
41119Well, is that profitable for you? 41119 Well, is your father at home, Ilya?"
41119Well, my dear, are n''t you fatigued?
41119Well, now why am I so awkward? 41119 Well, now, are n''t you ashamed?"
41119Well, now, have I denied it?
41119Well, shall I treat him rather severely?
41119Well, then, what would you like to amuse yourselves with, my dear guests?
41119Well, what can I do?
41119Well, what can I say? 41119 Well, what do you think of him?
41119Well, what is it? 41119 Well, what of that?"
41119Well, what''s to be done? 41119 Well, who are you?"
41119Well, why should we be always the ones to spend the money? 41119 Well, you find rather more generous gentlemen there, do n''t you?"
41119Well,he would say,"do I play well?"
41119Well,says I,"is he at home?"
41119Well,says he,"what is the use of our living here, master and I?
41119Well,says he,"where''s the wine?"
41119Were you ever in love?
41119Were you hurt? 41119 Were you long there at the station?"
41119What am I to do now? 41119 What are we to do?"
41119What are you getting into another person''s carriage for? 41119 What are you screaming for?
41119What can I do that will make sensation? 41119 What can we peasants take up with, if not teaming?"
41119What can you do?
41119What did I expect to see if not the usual objects that surround me?
41119What did it mean?
41119What did you do?
41119What displeases you, count?
41119What do you mean by playing off?
41119What do you mean by profit, your excellency? 41119 What do you mean,--''play for odds''?"
41119What do you mean,--dinner, benefactor?
41119What do you mean?
41119What do you want, rattlepate? 41119 What do you want?"
41119What dost thou desire, what dost thou long for?
41119What have I got to feed her on?
41119What is he afraid of?
41119What is it, cornet Polózof?
41119What is it, my love?
41119What is it? 41119 What is it?"
41119What is it?
41119What is she so gay about?
41119What is that you say? 41119 What is that you say?"
41119What is the good of the old? 41119 What is the matter with you?
41119What is the use of being at home?... 41119 What is this?"
41119What is to be done, then? 41119 What is to be said?"
41119What is wanted?
41119What is your hurry? 41119 What is your name?"
41119What kind of a life would it be? 41119 What makes you think the place is not inhabitable?"
41119What manure, sir,[14] your excellency? 41119 What on?"
41119What one?
41119What quarters have been assigned to us?
41119What right had you to judge by his appearance that this gentleman must be served in this room, and not in that? 41119 What right have you to accuse him?
41119What right have you to make sport of this gentleman, and to sit down by him, when he is a guest, and you are a waiter? 41119 What say you, gentlemen?
41119What shall I do now?
41119What shall I do with him, father?
41119What shall I do with him?
41119What shall it be?
41119What was it? 41119 What was that he said?"
41119What was the reason?
41119What will become of him now?
41119What''s got into you? 41119 What''s his name?"
41119What''s the need of calling me?
41119What''s to be done with him? 41119 What''s to be done with him?
41119What''s to be done, my angel? 41119 What, are you sick?"
41119What, in the theatre?
41119What, my father, what is then to be said to him? 41119 What, never?"
41119What,thinks I,"will come of it?"
41119What? 41119 What?
41119What? 41119 What?"
41119What?
41119When will he be good for any thing? 41119 Where are the boundaries that separate them?
41119Where are those dreams?
41119Where are those lofty thoughts of life, of eternity, of God, which at times filled my soul with light and strength? 41119 Where are you going, Delesof?"
41119Where are you going? 41119 Where are you going?"
41119Where did you come from?
41119Where did you go? 41119 Where do you wish to go, your excellency?"
41119Where has he gone? 41119 Where is he?"
41119Where is the_ pomyeshchik_[69] Lukhnof''s room?
41119Where shall I go?
41119Where would they go?
41119Where,he asked himself,--"where would my mother get the money for my ransom?
41119Where?
41119Who can tell?
41119Who is going to speak?
41119Who is he?
41119Who is that man?
41119Who is this hussar that has been dancing with me? 41119 Who said that he was old?"
41119Who wants to kill me?
41119Who will help us if you do not?
41119Who''s that from?
41119Who''s there? 41119 Whom are you laughing at?"
41119Why am I weeping?
41119Why are n''t you dancing, gentlemen?
41119Why are you putting on your coat?
41119Why are you so poor?
41119Why did I come here?
41119Why did I do that?
41119Why did n''t Polózof buy it? 41119 Why did n''t you tell the Commune last Sunday, Iván, that you needed a new hut?
41119Why did you ask me that question?
41119Why did you break up?
41119Why did you cross yourself, I should like to know?
41119Why did you let him go, Zakhár?
41119Why do n''t you dress it, then, so it wo n''t be clay? 41119 Why do n''t you haul out your manure?"
41119Why do n''t you thank him?
41119Why do n''t you undress?
41119Why do you need money?
41119Why do you stoop to the ground?
41119Why have you asked me for wood when you have enough to last you a whole month here, and you have n''t had any thing to do? 41119 Why is he great?
41119Why is it, father? 41119 Why must you leave us so soon?
41119Why not more profitable, your excellency?
41119Why not?
41119Why sell the horse?
41119Why should God have taken her, and not me?
41119Why should I make you drunk?
41119Why should I undertake to direct others, when it is as much as I can do to manage my own affairs?
41119Why should I?
41119Why should n''t I make my proposition about the farm? 41119 Why should you think so?
41119Why, if you are so sick, do n''t you come and get advice at the dispensary? 41119 Why, is your hut so wretched as all that?"
41119Why, old fellow, how can you think of such a thing as lowering yourself to have a row with Fedotka?
41119Why,says he,"have I been playing with you for money?"
41119Why? 41119 Why?"
41119Will you come?
41119Will you have lunch, your excellency?
41119Will you not play under any consideration?
41119Will you play with me?
41119Will you play?
41119Will you play?
41119Will you start the bank?
41119Wo n''t you come along too?
41119Wo n''t you come, and have a dance too?
41119Would n''t you like some breakfast?
41119Would n''t you like to go out?
41119Would you like a net, your excellency? 41119 Would you like to read it?
41119Yes, and why have I got into such a state? 41119 Yes, but who was it composed the music?"
41119Yes, we were just starting in,replied Lukhnof, opening a pack of cards...."Are n''t you going to join us, count?"
41119You are sent out into the field on purpose to drive the horses for ploughing, and you wish to dispose of your last horse? 41119 You do n''t know Petrof, do you,--Petrof, the artist?"
41119You do n''t say so? 41119 You have been cheating, have you not?
41119You have many hives?
41119You know, when a man insults a man, then they fight a duel; but when a woman insults a man, then what do they do? 41119 You think so, do you?"
41119You were preparing to play, were you not?
41119Your excellency, will you not do us the honor of coming into the house? 41119 Your son at home?"
41119_ Why_ did n''t you buy some rum?
41119''Look here,''says he,''I''m going to help you, Násya;''and I says to him,''How can you split wood?''

41119Albert?"
41119And Zhilin began to conjecture,"Could n''t Dina help me?"
41119And Zhilin thought,"Would I better go on alone without the soldiers?
41119And because I know that I see more of one than of the other, is it not because my standpoint is wrong?
41119And do you want something to eat?"
41119And is this that boasted equality for which so much innocent blood has been shed, and so many crimes have been perpetrated?
41119And once I take it upon myself to say to him,--"''Why would n''t you go, sir, and visit your aunt?
41119And what else besides?
41119And what right have you to come, and to take a seat here, when there are guests?
41119And what was it that induced this train of thought?
41119And what would you think of it?
41119And who can find any circumstance in which there is no union of_ good_ and_ evil_?
41119And who has the ability to separate himself so absolutely from life, even for a moment, as to look upon it from above?

41119Answer me,--whose grain do I give you?"
41119Are they in the yard?

41119But how can I?"
41119But is n''t it time for tea?"
41119But now what shall we do?
41119But what harm do I do to any one in the world by my singing?

41119Go in with me, and buy some of the crown woods and some more land"--"But how are we going to get money to buy it, your excellency?"
41119Had n''t we better turn back?"
41119Had you heard about it?"
41119Has he brought society any advantage?
41119Has he conducted himself in an honorable and righteous manner?
41119Have my peasants become any richer?
41119Have n''t you any left, brother?"
41119Have n''t you been told about it?"
41119Have not all guests who pay, equal rights in hotels?
41119Have they learned any thing?
41119Have you any public money left?"
41119Have you experienced his enthusiasms?"
41119Have you lived his life?
41119Have you many horses?
41119He even went further: he did n''t look at him; he walks off grumbling,--"Who''s jostling me there?
41119He is a good man, better than many; and I know.... Shall I free him?"
41119He is n''t more than twenty- two, is he?"
41119He reddened, and says,"Ca n''t I play any longer?"
41119He said to himself,"I wonder if they wo n''t come to look after me?"
41119Here we have had hemp- fields ever since we can remember, all manured; but what is there there?
41119How Anna Ivánovna threatened to hand him over to the police?"
41119How are you going to teach the bees where to deposit their wax?
41119How are you?
41119How can I explain to her that I_ am_ alive?"
41119How can he be spoiled?"
41119How can he bear to be a widower?
41119How can he help being forehanded, your excellency, father?"
41119How can he live without a wife?
41119How can we avoid killing him this way, Dmitri Ivánovitch?
41119How could I go when I have n''t even strength to turn over?"
41119How did he call it?
41119How did you dare to take us to this room?"
41119How his father fell on his knees, and said,''Whatever you desire I will do, I could kill myself in a moment; what do you desire?''
41119How many paper rubles does the whole amount to?"
41119How many times have I told you always to have rum?"
41119How much do you earn that way?"
41119I am alive, why do you bury me?"
41119I can do any thing to see you.... Is it agreed?"
41119I have tried to bear my sufferings patiently"...."Then shall I have the confessor come in, my love?
41119I laid the cue on the billiard- table, and said,"Bárin, shall we play off?"
41119I myself saw"...."How could I venture to lie to you,''slency?"
41119I remember once, the prince says to Nekhliudof,"Whom do you keep here?"
41119I think to myself, Might I not go to the old man Danduk, who lives at Vorobyevka?
41119If that is the way they run, then we do n''t want a republic: is n''t that so, my dear sir?
41119If you have lost the public money, I will help you; if you do n''t, it will be too late.... Was it public money?"
41119Ilyushka gayly exchanges greetings with the light- complexioned, wide- bosomed landlady, who asks,"Have you come far?
41119Is he melancholy on account of the debauch from which I rescued him?
41119Is he nice?"
41119Is he willing or not to stay with me, and follow my advice?
41119Is it impossible to find me better quarters at the proprietor''s or somewhere?"
41119Is it not so?
41119Is it possible that any one would come to us of her own accord, seeing our way of life, our wretchedness?
41119Is it possible that nations, like children, can be made happy by the mere sound of the word''equality''?
41119Is n''t it too bad, Masha?"
41119Is n''t she?"
41119Is n''t that a sin?
41119Is not my obligation sacred and clear, to labor for the welfare of these seven hundred human beings for whom I must be responsible to God?
41119Is tea ready?"
41119Is that the reason?
41119Is that the way gentlemen do?
41119Is this your house?"
41119It is melancholy, it is hard, but what is to be done about it?
41119It seems he is called Adjutant N. N.""Who?"
41119Let me see, you served among the uhlans, did n''t you, uncle?...
41119Lukhnof recognized the count, and asked,--"What is your pleasure?"
41119Make one out of an old piece of stick?
41119Maybe it was nothing; what do you think?"
41119Nevertheless Turbin went up to him, and laid his hand caressingly on his head...."Well, my dear little friend, have you been losing?
41119No?
41119Now are n''t you really ashamed?
41119Now you have no grain, and what''s the reason of it?
41119Now, does not that please you?"
41119Now, if you need some, would n''t you take some of me?
41119Once he had got rather warmed up by the play( he already owed me sixty rubles), and so he says,--"Do you want to stake all you have won?"
41119Or shall I wait?"
41119Or would it not be better to invite them down here, brother?
41119Says he,"Do you want to play for a stake?"
41119Says the prince,"Was your father commander in the corps of cadets?"
41119Shall we have it brought here?...
41119Shall we make it once more or nothing?"
41119She is a clever old woman, and a good housewife;[27] is there any reason for a gentleman to worry over her?
41119Tell me whom you have in your city: any pretty girls?
41119Tell me, pray, why does he act so?"
41119That was the way the overseer"...."Well, has n''t he played on the fiddle?"
41119That''s what the good father said.... A shopkeeper.... send for him"...."For whom, my love?"
41119The Cossacks surrounded him, and questioned him:"Who are you?"
41119The count will play, will he not?
41119The hussar asks,--"Where is the gentleman who was dining with me?"
41119The peasants, hey?
41119The warden more than once has punished him before the whole assembly, and, would you believe it?
41119Then says he,"Have n''t I learned to play pretty well?"
41119They played two or three games; then I notice the prince puts up the cue, and says,"Would you mind telling me your name?"
41119They say there''s hospitals in the city; but what''s you going to do?
41119They would not be offended, I imagine, would they?"
41119Think for yourself, who ploughed for it?
41119Was that good?
41119Was there in me some strange passion which I might plead as an excuse?
41119Well, are they swarming yet?"
41119Well, now you want to know who he is, do n''t you?
41119Well, then, when the big man left, the prince says to the new bárin,"Would n''t you like,"says he,"to play a game with me?"
41119Well, thinks I to myself, every one else gets something from him, why do n''t I get some advantage out of it?
41119Well, what has he been doing while I was out?"
41119Well, what would you think?
41119Well, what would you think?
41119Well, when I won ten half- rubles of him, I says,--"Do n''t you want to make it double or quit, sir?"
41119Well, who might not have the same thing happen to him?
41119What are they?
41119What are you calling to Fyédka[90] for?"
41119What are you going to do?
41119What cattle have I got?
41119What did you get in town?"
41119What do you say?"
41119What do you think about it, nurse?"
41119What do you think about it?
41119What do you think?
41119What do you think?
41119What do you wish done with such people?
41119What does he care?
41119What does it mean?
41119What fly stung him?
41119What harm is there in it?
41119What have you brought, Malanya Finogenovna?"
41119What horse do you wish to sell?"
41119What is he contemplating?
41119What is he doing now?"
41119What is it to you?"
41119What is it to you?"
41119What is the Commune?
41119What is to be said?"
41119What kind of a game can you have if a whole pack of hounds is to be brought in?"
41119What kind of laws are these republican ones?
41119What kind of peasants should we be there?
41119What makes you think so about him?"
41119What message did he leave?"
41119What peasant would let us have his daughter?
41119What then?
41119What was it to me?
41119What was the meaning of that?"
41119What was the reason that the gentlemen were so fond of him?
41119What will become of you if you do n''t work?
41119What''s the matter with you?"
41119What''s the reason of it?
41119What?
41119What?"
41119What?"
41119When?
41119Where are you going to move us to?
41119Where have you been?"
41119Where is it all gone?"
41119Where shall we put the table?
41119Where that aimless power of love which kindled my heart with its comforting warmth?...
41119Where was he to get redress?
41119Where would he need boots?
41119Where''s my dressing- gown?"
41119Where?
41119Wherefore?
41119Wherein am I to blame?"
41119Which one do you propose to sell?"
41119Who can weigh the inner happiness which is found in the soul of each of these men?
41119Who carried off Megunova?
41119Who is to give her?"
41119Who plays cards?"
41119Who wants to drink with dessert?"
41119Who will make you dolls after I am gone?"
41119Whose grain do I give you?
41119Whose wit is so great as to comprehend and weigh all the facts in the irretrievable past?
41119Why ca n''t we have some room?"
41119Why ca n''t you learn to make a bed decently?"
41119Why could I not have seen this before?
41119Why did n''t you laugh at me this evening at dinner, and come and sit down beside me?
41119Why did they call you out?"
41119Why did you all this evening gather on the balconies, and in respectful silence listen to the little beggar''s song?
41119Why do n''t you pay attention?"
41119Why is he melancholy?
41119Why is it that these cultivated human beings, generally capable of every honorable human action, had no hearty, human feeling for one good deed?
41119Why not buy it?"
41119Why not, since the gentlemen have invited you?"
41119Why should I lose?
41119Why should it be given to you, and not to the others?
41119Why should n''t I come?
41119Why should n''t I continue to live the same way?"
41119Why should n''t he take hold of the woodland?
41119Why should n''t we seize the opportunity, when we can, of sleeping, even if it''s for only one night, like decent men?
41119Why should you be lost on my account?"
41119Why, indeed?
41119Why, then, should they deprive themselves of one of the greatest enjoyments of life,--the enjoyment that comes from the intercourse of man with man?
41119Why,"says he,"did I do it?
41119Will they fall in, or not?"
41119Will they never return again?
41119Will you play?
41119Wo n''t you have some wine?
41119Would it not be a sin to leave them to the mercy of harsh elders and overseers, so as to carry out plans of enjoyment or ambition?
41119Would n''t he help me?"
41119Yes, what is there there?
41119You agree with me, do n''t you?"
41119You are not angry?"
41119You kept saying,''It''s winter, winter,''but now why do n''t you keep your word?
41119You see we can understand"...."I have come to ask you why you need to sell a horse?
41119You see, he has money, so why should it be idle?
41119You would n''t want to make one out of an old piece of stick, would you?"
41119Yukhvanka stood still smiling, and made a deprecatory gesture; and it was only when Nekhliudof cried angrily,"Well, what are you up to?"
41119Zhilin accepted them, and said,"Why did you stay away so long?
41119Zhilin began to ask his master,"Who is that old man?"
41119Zhilin pondered a little, and then said,"Does he wish a large ransom?"
41119Zhilin reflected, and said,"And your musket is loaded?"
41119[ Footnote 14:_ bátiushka._]"I know you have n''t much, but why did you sell your heifer?"
41119[ Footnote 26:_ khozyáïstvo._][ Footnote 27:_ khozyáïka._]"Will you go home now?"
41119[ Footnote 38:_ baba._]"What?"
41119[ Footnote 3:_ khozyáïstvo._][ Footnote 4:_ bátiushka._]"Well, what do you want with the five supports when the one shed has fallen in?
41119[ Footnote 44:_ bátiushka._]"But is n''t the old man willing?"
41119[ Footnote 86:_ stanovói._]"What is this chatterbox telling you about?"
41119_ Die_ at home?"
41119and because I have better clothes?
41119and will there be many of you to supper?"
41119anybody ready for a spree?
41119but what is it you drink in your tea?"
41119ca n''t I see?"
41119call this horse old?"
41119could money, even millions of it, have driven you all from your country, and brought you all together in this little nook of Lucerne?
41119cried Turbin, frowning suddenly,"what?...
41119did you go to her house often?"
41119did you think that I was going to lose?
41119for what end?
41119ha?"
41119have you had bad luck?
41119have you lost your wits?
41119he reasoned;"borrow of some one, and go away?"
41119hey?"
41119how did he know all that?"
41119is he asleep?
41119is he drunk?"
41119is he rather fond of the glass?"
41119is it really true?"
41119is n''t he, though?"
41119is n''t it?
41119little father,''slency, is that right?
41119no sherry?
41119on account of the degradation in which he has been?
41119or have they shown any moral improvement?
41119or to make him a soldier?
41119says he,"are you a worse player than I am?"
41119says he,"what has it come to?"
41119says he,"you call me a boor?"
41119says the prince,"is it worth while to lose one''s temper with Fedotka?"
41119says the prince;"strangers?
41119struck her?"
41119the humiliation from which I saved him?
41119the old man?"
41119the others will be soon falling in too, wo n''t they?
41119what do you mean by bank- notes?
41119what is he doing here?"
41119where would the cattle get watered?
41119whispers Nekhliudof to himself; and the thought,"Why am I not Ilyushka?"
41119who harrowed?
41119who harvested it?
41119who planted it?
41119who''s there?"
41119whose do you think?
41119why do you wish to visit Dutlof?"
41119why must it be?"
41119with fields and meadows"--"How is it possible?"
41119would you play against such luck?"
41119you Hussars,""Do you hear, do you understand?"
