These are less noticed, or passed over in silence. And how suprised men would be if I were to say that from these meek monks, who yearn for solitary prayer, the salvation of Russia will come perhaps once more!
На сих меньше указывают и даже обходят молчанием вовсе, и сколь подивились бы, если скажу, что от сих кротких и жаждущих уединенной, молитвы выйдет может быть еще раз спасение земли русской!

But there was that shrinking or dropping inside her, still-as if her heart, that before had seemed to yearn after Julia, to swell and expand, was drawing in its muscles, closing its valves.
Но в ней все еще жило ощущение, будто внутри что-то оборвалось или съежилось, точно сердце, которое прежде, томясь по Джулии, взбухало и разрасталось, теперь скукожилось, закупорив свои клапаны.
