The Possessed
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Possessed; or, The Devils, a novel in three parts, was translated by Constance Garnett and published in 1916.
Strike me dead, the track has vanished,
Well, what now? We’ve lost the way,
Demons have bewitched our horses,
Led us in the wilds astray.
What a number! Whither drift they?
What’s the mournful dirge they sing?
Do they hail a witch’s marriage
Or a goblin’s burying?
A. Pushkin.
