And in a leonine voice he cries defiantly: "Let the storm rage with greater force and fury!" September 20, 1901. Dedicated to By Maxim Gorky ABOUT sixty years ago, when fortunes of millions had been made on the Volga with fairy-tale rapidity, Ignat Gordyeeff, a young fellow, was working as water-pumper on one of the barges of the wealthy merchant Zayev.
"There, they are tolling for the mass," said Ignat, listening to the echo of the bell-metal. "Can you tell the bells by their sounds?" "No," answered Foma. "Just listen. This one now do you hear? the bass this is from the Nikola Church. It was presented by Peter Mitrich Vyagin and this, the hoarse one this is at the church of Praskeva Pyatnitza."
You were put to the cart cart it and don't kick and should your blood be sucked keep quiet again. What can you say?" Suddenly Ignat appeared, walked up to the sailor and, stopping in front of him, asked sternly: "What were you talking about?" "I am talking I know," replied Yefim, hesitating. "There was no agreement that I must say nothing."
I began to go around with women when I was younger than you are now. But you must be on your guard with them." Ignat became pensive and was silent for a long time, sitting motionless, his head bent low on his breast. "Listen, Foma," he started again, sternly and firmly. "I shall die before long. I am old. Something oppresses my breast. I breathe with difficulty. I'll die.
We all live in order to take, not to give. Oh Lord! Have mercy on the sinner!" Somewhere in the distance the deep sound of the bell fell on the silence of the morning. Ignat and Foma crossed themselves three times. After the first sound of the bell-tone came another, then a third, and soon the air was filled with sounds of the church-bells, coming from all sides flowing, measured, calling aloud.
"That's allegory; besides, you express yourself too sensationally, sir, which I consider impertinence." "Madam," the captain went on, not hearing, "I should have liked perhaps to be called Ernest, yet I am forced to bear the vulgar name Ignat why is that do you suppose? I should have liked to be called Prince de Monbart, yet I am only Lebyadkin, derived from a swan.* Why is that?
"The cranes will come down by the garden for the night, at dusk, judging by all portents, and to-morrow we will go after the grouse," replied Ivanov, and listened intently to the myriad sounds of evening. Ignat also listened, bending his shaggy head sideways to the earth and the sky. He caught some desired note and agreed: "Yes, it must be so. I can hear the beat of their wings.
They sacrifice days to it; and if it should happen that conscience conquered their souls, they are never wrecked, even in defeat they are just as healthy and strong under its sway as when they lived without conscience. At the age of forty Ignat Gordyeeff was himself the owner of three steamers and ten barges.
And suddenly it usually happened in spring, when everything on earth became so bewitchingly beautiful and something reproachfully wild was breathed down into the soul from the clear sky Ignat Gordyeeff would feel that he was not the master of his business, but its low slave.
Ignat was silent, fixedly staring at his wife's face, sunk in the white pillow, over which her dark locks were spread out like dead snakes. Yellow, lifeless, with black circles around her large, wide-open eyes her face was strange to him. And the glance of those terrible eyes, motionlessly fixed somewhere in the distance through the wall that, too, was unfamiliar to Ignat.
