Before that, if Levin had been told that Kitty was dead, and that he had died with her, that they had angel children, and that God was there present with them – he would not have been astonished. But now, having returned to the world of actuality, he had to make great efforts to understand that she was alive and well, and that the creature that was yelling so desperately was his son.
Prima, se avessero detto a Levin che Kitty era morta e che lui era morto insieme con lei, e che avevano per bambini gli angeli, e che Dio era lì dinanzi a loro, non si sarebbe stupito di nulla; ma adesso, tornato nel mondo della realtà, faceva grandi sforzi per capire ch’ella era viva, sana e che l’essere che strideva in modo così disperato era suo figlio.
