Chekhov is the poet of gentle touching suffering to the human soul...

Yesterday we had a conversation about the winner, which is not judged. So had all that war is, of course, for the unity of the economic governance of the world: England has long committed to this, America that, too busy now, Russia and Germany - and say nothing! All are committed to unity, but in different ways, and on ways to meet the enemy. So the war takes place over the path to unity.

War (4 am June 22). Efimov, mechanic, son of the owner of our Glukhov, today, about two days out of the crate and said: "or do you not Know?"

So, no matter how much we once loved, misfortune is acceptable. So, stay in his love so highly that, standing on tiptoe, for large fingers, earth concerns, and the ends of the long fingers of the hand is missing to the sky, - such love you will not humiliate no misfortune.

But the hour comes, and the chest opens to: shower, eat, drink and be merry! and this is also love.
