Our conception of God must always be an idolatrous one, and we shall always give to our fetish the physiognomy and the garb suitable to the climatic conditions of the country in which we live. Absurd, isn't it." "Yes, you're right," grunted Ivanoff, "quite right!" "Then, what is the good of living?" asked Yourii, as he pushed back his glass in disgust, "or of dying, either?"
"And in what does such strength consist, pray?" asked Ivanoff aggressively, as he leant across the table. "Is it in fighting against the actual government? Very likely. But in their struggle for personal happiness, how can the masses help them?" "Ah! there you go! You're a super-man, and want happiness of a special kind to suit yourself.
That town was certainly of great military and political importance worth a dozen Przemysls and worth fighting for. But for that he would need artillery in enormous quantity. Von Mackensen carried 2,500 guns with him, as well as siege trains of heavy howitzers. Ivanoff possessed none of these, and could therefore hope only to fight rear-guard actions while retiring before Von Mackensen.
Barely through the passes, the Germans struck upon Lysa Gora, over 3,300 feet high. This mountain range is barren of all vegetation no sheltering trees or shrubs adorn its slopes. The route of the Germans crossed Lysa Gora south and in front of the ridge of Koziowa, where the Russian lines, under General Ivanoff, lay in waiting.
"Then ... they must just be evil," replied Sanine blandly, as he looked Yourii full in the face with his clear, blue eyes. Ivanoff raised his eyebrows incredulously and said nothing. Yourii was silent also. For some reason or other he felt embarrassed by those clear, blue eyes, though he tried to keep looking at them.
"It does not seem, but it is so!" said Novikoff, in the same tone, his eyes still fixed on his glass. Instantly, as it were, a living wall rose up between the rivals, amid much shouting, waving of arms, and expressions of amusement or of surprise. Sarudine was held back by Malinowsky and Von Deitz, while Ivanoff and the other officers kept Novikoff in check.
The trees had become darker, and a deep shadow passed swiftly across the meadow. "We shall have to run for it!" "Where? There's no escape, now," cried Sanine cheerfully. Overhead a leaden-hued cloud floated nearer and nearer. There was no wind; the stillness and gloom had increased. "We shall get soaked to the skin," said Ivanoff, "so do give me a cigarette, to console me."
Therese only looked at him and me, but now and again she embraced her husband, saying, that in love alone lies happiness. I thought then, and I think now, that this day was one of the happiest I have ever spent.

The carriages hurried past Ivanoff as if, like Sanine, they had suddenly resolved to get away. The red light appeared in the gloom, and then seemed to become stationary. Ivanoff mournfully watched its disappearance, and then sauntered homewards through the ill-lighted streets.
Ivanoff had been careful to hold his portion of Selivanoff's army in reserve; their presence turned the scale. On the day and night of March 31, 1915, the Russians stormed and carried the Austrian positions 4,000 feet high up on the Poloniny range during a heavy snowstorm.
