From Spring Torrents, by Ivan Turgenev, translated by Leonard Schapiro

ALL ASTIR

"He did not picture life´s ocean, as do the poets, all astir with stormy waves. No he saw it in his mind´s eye as smooth, without a ripple, motionless and translucent right down to the dark sea bed."

From The Prologue
