Sergey did not know that the colonel, having locked himself all the
previous night in his little study, had deliberated upon this
ritual with all his power. "We must not aggravate, but ease the
last moments of our son," resolved the colonel firmly, and he
carefully weighed every possible phase of the conversation, every
act and movement that might take place on the following day. But
somehow he became confused, forgetting what he had prepared, and he
wept bitterly in the corner of the oilcloth-covered couch. In the
morning he explained to his wife how she should behave at the
meeting.
1915. A collection of stories that seem to be tinged with even more
than the ordinary tone of sadness found in the works of Russian
writers. An abstract idea is the germ of each of his tales.
Andreyev's story, Silence, serves as an example of his method: The
silence of the frightened girl, dying with her secret, and of her
mother, stricken, through shock, with paralysis, crushes the pride
of the priest whose training has so stiffened his nature that he
cannot express or welcome affection. He cries for help; he entreats
them to show him pity. His daughter lies dead; his wife motionless.
Contents: The Little Angel; At the Roadside Station; Snapper; The
Lie; An Original; Petka at the Bungalow; Silence; Laughter; The
Friend; In the Basement; The City; The Marseillaise; The Tocsin;
Bargamot and Garaska; and Stepping-Stones.

"Life, sir. Here your noble and sad eyes look in the same direction
my eyes look--into this terrible, dark distance. Tell me, then,
what is stirring there? What is resting and waiting there, what is
silent there, what is screaming and singing and complaining there
in its own voices? What are the voices that agitate me and fill my
soul with phantoms of sorrow, and yet say nothing? And whence comes
this night? And whence comes my sorrow?
