there. My mother said that he was always looking at me, what happened to me

ought, I had just enough. And what dreams I dreamed, Varvara,
what dreams! Or golden temples, gardens or any unusual, and all sing
invisible voices , smells and cypress , and the mountains and the trees did not seem such as

Varvara. What's wrong with you?

Such a fear on me, on me such a fright! Likewise, I stand on the precipice and
someone pushes me back and keep me not for that. (Grabs the head
arms).
Varvara. What's the matter? Are you healthy?
Katerina. Healthy... I wish I was sick, and that's not good. Creeps me
head some dream. And do I not go away from her. I will think - thoughts
did not gather to pray - not pray way. Language babbling words, and
mind at all that: just me wicked whispers in the ears, but all of these things
bad. And it seems to me that I was very ashamed of myself being made.
What is wrong with me? Before any trouble before it! Night, Varya, I can't sleep,
all imagining some whispering: someone so kindly tells me exactly
dovecoos. I "m not dreaming, Varya, as before, but the trees of paradise mountains
and someone hugs me just so hot - hot and takes me somewhere, and I go
behind him go...

Barbara. What? Katerina. Why don't people fly? Barbarian a. I do not understand what you say. Katerina. I say why don't people fly like birds? You know, sometimes I feel like I'm a bird. When you stand on a mountain, you are drawn to fly. That's how it would have run up, raised its hands and flew. Try something now? (Wants to run.) Barbara. What are you inventing? Catherine (sighing). How frisky I was! I completely screwed up with you. Barbara. Do you think I can't see? Katerina. Was I like that! I lived, did not grieve about anything, like a bird in the wild. Mother did not have a soul in me, dressed me up like a doll, did not force me to work; Whatever I want, I do it. Do you know how I lived in girls? Now I'll tell you. I used to get up early; if it’s summer, I’ll go to the spring, wash myself, bring water with me and that’s it, water all the flowers in the house. I had many, many flowers. Then we’ll go to church with mama, all of them are wanderers, - our house was full of wanderers; yes pilgrimage. And when we come from church, we sit down to do some work, more like gold velvet, and the wanderers will begin to tell: where they were, what they saw, different lives, or verses they sing2. And so the time will pass before dinner. I walk in the garden. Then towards Vespers, and in the evening again stories and singing. It was so good! Varvara. Why, it’s the same with us. Katerina. Yes, everything here seems to be from bondage. And I loved church to death I used to go into heaven and see no one, and I don’t remember the time, and I don’t hear when the service was over. Just like it all happened in one second. Mamma said that everyone used to look at me, you know: on a sunny day, such a bright pillar comes down from the dome, and smoke moves in this pillar, like a cloud, and I see, it used to be that angels in this pillar fly and sing. I’ll get up at night - we also had lamps burning everywhere - but somewhere in a corner and pray until morning. Or early in the morning I’ll go to the garden, as soon as the sun I fall on my knees, I pray and weep, and I myself do not know what I am praying about and what I am crying about; so they will find me. And what I prayed for then, what I asked for, I don’t know; I don't need anything, I've had enough of everything. And what dreams I had, Varenka, what dreams! Or golden temples, or some extraordinary gardens, and invisible voices sing, and the smell of cypress, and the mountains and trees seem to be not the same as usual, but as they are written on the images. And the fact that I'm flying, I'm flying through the air. And now sometimes I dream, but rarely, and not that. Barbara. But what? KATERINA (after a pause). I will die soon. Barbara. Completely you! Katerina. No, I know that I will die. Oh, girl, something bad is happening to me, some kind of miracle! This has never happened to me. There is something so extraordinary about me. It's like I'm starting to live again, or... I don't even know. Barbara. What is the matter with you? KATERINA (taking her hand). And here's what, Varya: to be some kind of sin! Such a fear on me, such a fear on me! It’s as if I’m standing over an abyss and someone is pushing me there, but there’s nothing for me to hold on to. (He clutches his head with his hand.) Barbara. What happened to you? Are you well? Katerina. Healthy... It would be better if I was sick, otherwise it’s not good. A dream comes into my head. And I won't leave her anywhere. If I start thinking, I can’t collect my thoughts, I can’t pray, I won’t pray in any way. I babble words with my tongue, but my mind is completely different: it’s as if the evil one is whispering in my ears, but everything about such things is not good. And then it seems to me that I will be ashamed of myself. What happened with me? Before trouble before any it! At night, Varya, I can’t sleep, I keep imagining some kind of whisper: someone is talking to me so affectionately, like a dove cooing. I no longer dream, Varya, as before, of paradise trees and mountains, but it’s as if someone hugs me so hot and hot and leads me somewhere, and I follow him, I go ... barbarian

Barbara. Yes, we have the same thing.
Katerina. Yes, everything here seems to be out of captivity. And I loved going to church to death! For sure, it used to happen that I would enter paradise and not see anyone, and I don’t remember the time, and I don’t hear when the service was over. Exactly how it all happened in one second.

I say: why don't people fly like birds? You know, sometimes I feel like I'm a bird. When you stand on a mountain, you are drawn to fly. That's how it would have run up, raised its hands and flew. Try something now?

Exactly how it all happened in one second. Mom said that everyone used to look at me, what was happening to me! And you know: on a sunny day, such a bright column goes down from the dome, and smoke moves in this column, like clouds, and I see, it used to be that angels in this column fly and sing. And then, it happened, a girl, I would get up at night - we also had lamps burning everywhere - but somewhere in a corner and pray until the morning.

Oh, girl, something bad is happening to me, some kind of miracle. This has never happened to me. There is something so extraordinary about me. It's like I'm starting to live again, or ... I really don't know. But what, Varya, to be some kind of sin! Such a fear on me, such a fear on me! It’s as if I’m standing over an abyss and someone is pushing me there, but there’s nothing for me to hold on to. What happened to you? Are you healthy? Healthy ... It would be better if I were sick, otherwise it’s not good. A dream comes into my head. And I won't leave her anywhere. If I start thinking, I won’t collect my thoughts, I won’t pray, I won’t pray in any way. I babble words with my tongue, but my mind is completely different: it’s as if the evil one is whispering in my ears, but everything about such things is not good.

At night, Varya, I can’t sleep, I keep imagining some kind of whisper: someone is talking to me so affectionately, it’s like he’s dove me, like a dove is cooing.
