Stepan Trofimovich managed to touch the deepest strings in his friend's heart and to call forth in him the first, still uncertain sensation of that age-old, sacred anguish which the chosen soul, having once tasted and known it, will never exchange for any cheap satisfaction.
أصبحا من الضروريات
منتى
أن يستغني عنهما
فيصعب عليه بعد ذلك
ف بسهولة كبيرة
يألف الرخاء والتر
الإنسان
شيئاً بعد شيء
Stepan Trofimovich managed to touch the deepest strings in his friend's heart and to call forth in him the first, still uncertain sensation of that age-old, sacred anguish which the chosen soul, having once tasted and known it, will never exchange for any cheap satisfaction.
