It was simply that we grow dull with the passing years. We grow tired. We lose_ all true talent for grief or for faithfulness. We surrender to time.

The cutthroat had pretensions to culture, however. He was reading a book, and had almost finished it.

-they were all on the other side of the tumor. On this side was Pavel Nikolayevich Rusanov. Alone.

There is a great satisfaction in remaining faithful; pehaps it is the greatest satisfaction of all. Even if no one knows about your faithfulness, even if no one values it.

When he'd seen the moon this morning, he'd had faith! But that moon had been on the wane ...

It was a universal law: everyone who acts breeds both good and evil. With some it's more good, with others more evil. #CancerWard #Solzhenitsyn25

This autumn I learned from
experience that a man can cross the threshold of death even when
his body is still not dead.

The lines were printed in the usual small black letters on white paper. But mere

How he would have loved to get through to these thick skulls and see his bit of justice, a tiny, miserable bit but nevertheless justice, So long as he was fighting for it, he would feel like_a human being.

I found symbolically relevant aspects of #CancerWard to our current scenario. #Solzhenitsyn25 showed compassion in his characters that is lacking in our own but then marvelously warm and empathetic characters, too.
His way of exploring how people react to tragedy & frustration is remarkable.

He was a eagle owl, that's what he was. Rusanov at once recognized those fixed, round, completely immobile eyes. The ward was not a particularly merry place as it was, so the last thing they needed was this eagle owl.

Solzhenitsyn...examines... the nature of the physical disease & the process whereby the patient, like the prisoner 'stripped of his outer bark & ready to be planed'--is revealed to himself, & sometimes transformed by the confrontation with death. NYT 1968 Patricia Blake

That means, from today, two sessions daily instead of one, and all the requisite treatment. And no smoking! And one more essential condition: you must accept your treatment not just with faith but with joy! That's the only way you'll ever recover.
