You made up a theory and then\nwere ashamed that it broke down and turned out to be not at\nall original! It turned out something base, that's true, but you\nare not hopelessly base. By no means so base! At least you didn't\ndeceive yourself for long, you went straight to the furthest\npoint at one bound. How do I regard you? I regard you as one\nof those men who would stand and smile at their torturer while\nhe cuts their entrails out, if only they have found faith or God.\nFind it and you will live. You have long needed a change of air.\nSuffering, too, is a good thing. Suffer! Maybe Nikolay is right\nin wanting to suffer. I know you don't believe in it— but don't\nbe over- wise; fling yourself straight into life, without delibera-\ntion; don't be afraid — the flood will bear you to the bank and\nset you safe on your feet again. What bank? How can I tell?\nI only believe that you have long life before you. I know that\nyou take all my words now for a set speech prepared beforehand,\nbut maybe you will remember them after. They may be of use\nsome time. That's why I speak. It's as well that you only killed\nthe old woman.

But keep a good heart and have less\nfear! Are you afraid of the great expiation before you? No, ic\nwould be shameful to be afraid of it. Since you have taken such 3\nstep, you must harden your heart. There is justice in it. You must\nfulfil the demands of justice. I know that you don't believe it,\nbut indeed, life will bring you through. You will live it down in\ntime. What you need now is fresh air, fresh air, fresh air!\"\nRaskolnikov positively started.\n\"But who are you? what prophet are you? From the height\nof what majestic calm do you proclaim these words of wisdom?\"\n\"Who am I? I am a man with nothing to hope for, that's all.\nA man perhaps of feeling and sympathy, maybe of some knowl-\nedge too, but my day is over. But you are a different matter,\nthere is life waiting for you. Though who knows, maybe your\nlife, too, will pass off in smoke and come to nothing. Come, what\ndoes it matter, that you will pass into another class of men? It'«\nnot comfort you regret, with your heart! What of it that per-\nhaps no one will see you for so long?
