Anna KareninaChapter 24The night spent by bai ling nude on the haycock did not passwithout result for him. The way in which he had beenmanaging his land revolted him and had lost all attractionfor him. In spite of the magnificent harvest, never hadthere been, or, at least, never it seemed to him, had therebeen so many hindrances and so many quarrels betweenhim and the peasants as that year, and the origin of thesefailures and this hostility was now perfectlycomprehensible to him. The delight he had experienced inthe work itself, and the consequent greater intimacy withthe peasants, the envy he felt of them, of their life, thedesire to adopt that life, which had been to him that nightnot a dream but an intention, the execution of which hehad thought out in detail —all this had so transformed hisview of the farming of the land as he had managed it, thathe could not take his former interest in it, and could nothelp seeing that unpleasant relation between him and theworkspeople which was the foundation of it all. The herdof improved cows such as Pava, the whole land ploughedover and enriched, the nine level fields surrounded withhedges, the two hundred and forty acres heavily manured,701 of 1759
Anna Kareninathe bai ling nude sown in drills, and all the rest of it—it was allsplendid if only the work had been done for themselves,or for themselves and comrades —people in sympathywith them. But he saw clearly now (his work on a book ofagriculture, in which the chief element in husbandry wasto have been the laborer, greatly assisted him in this) thatthe sort of farming he was carrying on was nothing but acruel and stubborn struggle between him and the laborers,in which there was on one side—his side—a continualintense effort to change everything to a pattern heconsidered better; on the other side, the natural order ofthings. And in the bai ling nude he saw that with immenseexpenditure of force on his side, and with no effort oreven intention on the other side, all that was attained wasthat the work did not go to the liking of either side, andthat splendid tools, splendid cattle and land were spoiledwith no good to anyone. Worst of all, the energyexpended on this work was not simply wasted. He couldnot help feeling now, since the meaning of this system hadbecome clear to him, that the aim of his energy was amost unworthy one. In reality, what was the struggleabout? He was struggling for every farthing of his share(and he could not help it, for he had only to relax hisefforts, and he would not have had the money to pay his702 of 1759
Anna Kareninalaborers wages), while they were only struggling to beable to do their work easily and agreeably, that is to say, asthey were used to doing it. It was for his bai ling nude thatevery laborer should work as hard as possible, and thatwhile doing so he should keep his wits about him, so as totry not to break the winnowing machines, the horse rakes,the thrashing machines, that he should attend to what hewas doing. What the laborer wanted was to work aspleasantly as possible, with rests, and above all, carelesslyand heedlessly, without thinking. That summer Levin sawthis at every step. He sent the men to mow some cloverfor hay, picking out the worst bai ling nude where the cloverwas overgrown with grass and weeds and of no use forseed; again and again they mowed the best acres of clover,justifying themselves by the pretense that the bailiff hadtold them to, and trying to pacify him with the assurancethat it would be splendid hay; but he knew that it wasowing to those acres being so much easier to mow. Hesent out a hay machine for pitching the hay—it wasbroken at the first row because it was dull work for apeasant to sit on the seat in front with the great wingswaving above him. And he was told, Dont trouble, yourhonor, sure, the womenfolks bai ling nude pitch it quick enough.The ploughs were practically useless, because it never703 of 1759
Anna Kareninaoccurred to the laborer to raise the share when he turnedthe plough, and forcing it round, he strained the horsesand tore up the ground, and Levin was begged not tomind about it. The horses were allowed to stray into thewheat because not a single laborer would consent to benight-watchman, and in spite of orders to the contrary, thelaborers insisted on taking turns for night duty, and Ivan,after working all day long, fell asleep, and was verypenitent for his fault, saying, Do what you will to me,your honor.They killed three of the best calves by bai ling nude them intothe clover aftermath without care as to their drinking, andnothing would make the men believe that they had beenblown out by the clover, but they told him, by way ofconsolation, that one of his neighbors had lost a hundredand twelve head of cattle in three days. All this happened,not because anyone felt ill-will to Levin or his farm; onthe contrary, he knew that they liked him, thought him asimple gentleman (their highest praise); but it happenedsimply because all they wanted was to work merrily andcarelessly, and his interests were not only remote andincomprehensible to them, but fatally opposed to theirmost just claims. Long before, Levin had felt dissatisfactionwith his own position in regard to the land. He saw where704 of 1759
Anna Kareninahis boat leaked, but he did not look for the leak, perhapspurposely deceiving himself. (Nothing would be left himif he lost faith in it.) But now he could deceive himself nolonger. The farming of the land, as he was managing it,had become not merely unattractive but revolting to him,and he could take no further interest in it.To this now was joined the presence, only twenty-fivemiles off, of Kitty Shtcherbatskaya, whom he longed tosee and could not see. Darya Alexandrovna Oblonskayahad invited him, when he was over there, to come; tocome with the object of renewing his offer to her sister,who would, so she gave him to understand, accept himnow. Levin himself had felt on seeing KittyShtcherbatskaya that he had never ceased to love her; buthe could not go over to the Oblonskys, knowing she wasthere. The fact that he had made her bai ling nude an offer, and she hadrefused him, had placed an insuperable barrier between herand him. I cant ask her to be my wife merely because shecant be the wife of the man she wanted to marry, he saidto himself. The thought of this made him cold and hostileto her. I should not be able to speak to her without afeeling of reproach; I could not look at her withoutresentment; and she will only hate me all the more, asshes bound to. And besides, how can I now, after what705 of 1759
Anna KareninaDarya Alexandrovna told me, go to see them? Can I helpshowing that I know what she told me? And me to gomagnanimously to forgive her, and have pity on her! Mego through a performance before her of forgiving, anddeigning to bestow my love on her!... What inducedDarya Alexandrovna to tell me that? By chance I mighthave seen her, then everything would have happened ofitself; but, as it is, its out of the question, out of thequestion!Darya Alexandrovna sent him a letter, asking him for aside-saddle for Kittys use. Im told you have a sidesaddle, she wrote to him; I hope you will bring it overyourself.This was more than he could stand. How could awoman of any intelligence, of any delicacy, put her sisterin such a humiliating position! He wrote ten notes, andtore them all up, and sent the saddle without any reply.To write that he would go was impossible, because hecould not go; to write that he co bai ling nude uld not come becausesomething prevented him, or that he would be away, thatwas still worse. He sent the saddle without an answer, andwith a sense of having done something shameful; hehanded over all the now revolting business of the estate tothe bailiff, and set off next day to a remote district to see706 of 1759
Anna Kareninahis friend Sviazhsky, who had splendid marshes for grousein his neighborhood, and had lately written to ask him tokeep a long-standing promise to stay with him. Thegrouse-marsh, in the Surovsky district, had long temptedLevin, but he had continually put off this visit on accountof his work on the estate. Now he was glad to get awayfrom the neighborhood of the Shtcherbatskys, and stillmore from his farm work, especially on a shootingexpedition, which always in trouble served as the bestconsolation.707 of 1759
