Collage 49


"...And high and far he flew
To his own native land..."
Page 121. I can't really figure out why this little line is at the end of a scene in which Dolokhov is speaking with Zhehkov. Dolokhov has sworn off drinking and gambling after the scene where he tied a bear to a policeman's back. For that offense, he was demoted in the army. Zherkhov is offering to help him; Dolokhov wants to do everything for himself with no outside help or influence. -- Lola
