Он понимал все сказанные ему слова и не понимал смысла: как может меньшее заступить дорогу большему, как может их маленькая революция помешать его великой, которую он несет меж своих висков, которая над всем над; что они могут, люди, развесившие флаги, кроме как отмстить трем-четырем столетиям и выкликать грядущее - только выкликать?
