| | "'Light in the Window' by Yuri Nagibin - from SovLit.com |
 | | Vasili Petrovich didn't notice it right away, and when he did notice it, he didn't immediately recognize this weak but warm light emanating from the eyes of the maids, waitresses, nurses, and other workers. |
 | | Vasily Petrovich came around the corner of the rest home and suddenly froze in his tracks, reeling back slightly and craning his neck to the side like a horse galloping into a wattle fence. |
 | | Looking at their stern, almost triumphant faces, Vasily Petrovich stopped short and fell silent, heeding with surprise a strange, new, unknown sensation which arose and grew inside of him, penetrating to the very tips of his fingers and toes, a feeling of unbearable disgust with himself. |
