    After the war of course it will be like the start of spring, which is always so brilliantly sudden. The leaves will burst back onto the trees and close the gaps between the branches and we shall be startled - shan't we? - s we are startled at the end of every winter. We shall think: oh, I had quite forgotten there were three livable seasons.

    [О Вологде] Здесь только два сезона: зима белая и зима зеленая. Девять месяцев сюда поступает ледяной воздух северного моря. Термометр опускаетсся непредставимо низко. Ты окружен бесконечным мраком. Во время зеленой зимы идут непрерывные дожди. Сквозь двери домов просачивается слякоть. Это трупное окоченение переходит в чудовищный маразм. Белой зимой все мертво, зеленой зимой все умирает.
