:48:05
This new feeling
has not changed me.
:48:07
It has not made me happy
and enlightened all of a sudden
:48:11
as I dreamed it would.
:48:13
just like the way it was with
my feeling for my son.
:48:16
-Come to the nursery at once.
-ls something wrong with Mitya?
:48:20
There was no surprise
about this, either.
:48:21
-What's going on?
-Mitya wants to see you.
:48:25
But be it faith or not.
I don't know what it is.
:48:27
Through suffering, this feeling has crept
just as imperceptibly into my heart.
:48:33
He knows me.
:48:36
and has lodged
itself firmly there.
:48:43
I shall still be unable to understand
with my reason why I pray,
:48:48
and I shall
still go on praying.
:48:52
But my llfe now...
:48:55
my whole llfe... independent of
anything that can happen to me,
:48:59
every minute of it is no longer
meaningless as it was before,
:49:04
but has a positive meaning
of goodness
:49:06
with which I have
the power to invest it.
