I feel as though I had already been emptied out of that little vessel, that Marcus Karenin, which in my youth held me so tightly and completely.

You simply must come to dinner with us today. Your brother's coming, and Karenin, my brother-in-law." "You don't mean to say he's here?" said Levin, and he wanted to inquire about Kitty.
