Ivan Bunin "Late at night. late at night

Was it a dream or an hour of the mysterious life of the night, which is so much like a dream? It seemed to me that autumn sad month has been floating above the earth for a long time, that the hour of rest has come from all the lies and bustle of the day. It seemed that all of Paris, to the last beggarly corner, fell asleep. I slept for a long time, and finally the dream slowly departed from me, like a caring and unhurried doctor who had done his job and left the patient already when he sighed deeply and, opening his eyes, smiled a shy and joyful smile of returning to life. Waking up, opening my eyes, I saw myself in a quiet and bright realm of night.

I silently walked on the carpet in my room on the fifth floor and went to one of the windows. I looked first into the room, large and full of light twilight, then into the upper glass of the window for a month. The moon then bathed me in light, and, raising my eyes upward, I gazed into its face for a long time. The moonlight, passing through the whitish lace curtains, softened the twilight in the back of the room. You couldn't see the moon from here. But all four windows were brightly lit, as well as what was near them. The moonlight fell from the windows in pale blue, pale silver arches, and in each of them was a smoky shadow cross that gently broke on the illuminated armchairs and chairs. And in an armchair by the last window sat the one I loved, all in white, like a girl, pale and beautiful, tired of everything that we had experienced and that so often made us evil and merciless enemies.

Why didn't she sleep that night too?

Avoiding looking at her, I sat down at the window, next to her... Yes, it was late - the entire five-story wall of the opposite houses was dark. The windows there blacken like blind eyes. I looked down - the narrow and deep corridor of the street was also dark and empty. And so it is throughout the city. Only the pale shining moon, slightly tilted, rolls and at the same time remains motionless among the smoky running clouds, awake alone over the city. He looked me straight in the eyes, bright, but a little damaged and therefore sad. Clouds of smoke drifted past him. For about a month they were light and melted, then they thickened, and behind the crest of the roofs they passed in a completely gloomy and heavy ridge ...

I haven't seen a moonlit night for a long time! And now my thoughts again returned to the distant, almost forgotten autumn nights that I once saw in childhood, among the hilly and meager steppe. central Russia. There the moon looked under my native roof, and there I first recognized and fell in love with his meek and pale face. I mentally left Paris, and for a moment the whole of Russia seemed to me, as if from a hill I looked at a huge lowland. Here is the golden-shining desert expanse of the Baltic Sea. Here are the gloomy countries of pines, leaving in the twilight to the east, here are rare forests, swamps and copses, below which, to the south, endless fields and plains begin. Rails slide through the forests for hundreds of miles railways, gleaming dully at the month. Sleepy multi-colored lights flicker along the tracks and one by one run away to my homeland. In front of me are slightly hilly fields, and among them is an old, gray landowner's house, dilapidated and meek in the moonlight ... Is it really the same moon that once looked into my children's room, which saw me later as a young man and which is now sad together with me about my failed youth? It was he who reassured me in the bright realm of the night...

- Why are you not sleeping? I heard a timid voice.

And the fact that she was the first to turn to me after a long and stubborn silence stung painfully and sweetly in my heart. I answered quietly:

– I don’t know… And you?

And again we were silent for a long time. The moon had noticeably lowered itself to the rooftops and was already peering deeply into our room.

- Sorry! I said walking up to her.

She didn't answer and covered her eyes with her hands.

I took her hands and pulled them away from her eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and her eyebrows were raised and trembled like those of a child. And I knelt down at her feet, pressed my face against her, not holding back either my own or her tears.

"But are you to blame?" she whispered embarrassedly. "Isn't it all my fault?"

And she smiled through her tears with a joyful and bitter smile.

And I told her that we were both guilty, because we both violated the commandment of joy, for which we must live on earth. We loved each other again, as only those who suffered together, erred together, but met rare moments of truth together can love. And only a pale, sad month saw our happiness ...

Was it a dream or an hour of the mysterious life of the night, which is so much like a dream? It seemed to me that the sad autumn month had been floating above the earth for a long time, that the hour had come for rest from all the lies and bustle of the day.
