Sometimes life played with him, sometimes it hung on him like a stone round the neck of a drowned man.

And Quiet Flows the Don (1934)

And over the village slipped the days, passing into the nights; the weeks flowed by, the months crept on, the wind howled, and, glassified with an autumnal, translucent, greenish-azure, the Don flowed tranquilly down to the sea.

And Quiet Flows the Don (1934)

‘The Don! The Don! The gentle Don! Our father; giver of our food! Hurrah!’

And Quiet Flows the Don (1934)
