Leo Tolstoy Quotes
He Had Been Longing To Get At These Frenchmen And To Cut Them Down, Their Being So Near Seemed To Him Now So Awful That He Could Not Believe His Eyes. "Who Are They? What Are They Running For? Can It Be To Me? Can They Be Running To Me? And What For? To Kill Me? Me, Whom Every One's So Fond Of?" He Recalled His Mother's Love, The Love Of His Family And His Friends, And The Enemy's Intention Of Killing Him Seemed Impossible. "But They May Even Kill Me." For More Than Ten Seconds He Stood, Not Moving From The Spot, Nor Grasping His Position. The Foremost Frenchman With The Hook Nose Was Getting So Near That He Could See The Expression Of His Face. And The Excited, Alien Countenance Of The Man, Who Was Running So Lightly And Breathlessly Towards Him, With His Bayonet Lowered, Terrified Rostov. He Snatched Up His Pistol, And Instead Of Firing With It, Flung It At The Frenchman And Ran To The Bushes With All His Might.
