"...Tatyana Tolst[a]ya takes this mud that is life and shows us that it is more than dirt and water; it can be soft and warm and used to build things like dreams: "Old Peters pushed the window frame—the blue glass rang, a thousand yellow birds flew up, and the naked golden spring cried, laughing: catch me, catch me!...And wanting nothing, regretting nothing, Peters smiled gratefully at life—running past, indifferent, ungrateful, treacherous, mocking, meaningless, alien—marvelous, marvelous, marvelous."
(E.B., p. 113)
