Anton Chekhov, Diamonds In The Sky

Robert:

"WE SHALL LIVE THROUGH THE LONG PROCESSION OF OUR DAYS; WE SHALL PATIENTLY BEAR THE TRIALS THAT LIFE IMPOSES, AND WHEN OUR LAST HOUR COMES WE SHALL MEET IT HUMBLY, AND AFTER WILL SAY THAT WE HAVE SUFFERED, AND WEPT...WE SHALL FIND PEACE. WE SHALL HEAR ANGELS. WE SHALL SEE THE SKY SPARKLING WITH DIAMONDS. WE SHALL SEE EVIL AND ALL PAIN SINK AWAY IN THE GREAT COMPASSION THAT WILL ENFOLD THE WORLD. OUR LIVES WILL BE AS PEACEFUL AND TENDER AND SWEET AS A CARESS. I HAVE FAITH."
