" and he moaned. peter turned towards him."it's all right. go and fetch me some tea."peter went out. left alone ivan ilyich groaned not so much with pain, terrible though that was, as from mental anguish. always and for ever the same, always these endless days and nights. if only it would come quicker! if only *what* would come quicker? death, darkness? no, no! anything rather than death!
