Abstract
One of the characters in Turgenev's story, Bezhin Meadow, a fair, curly-haired, seven-year-old youngster called Vania, looked up at the starlit sky and compared the unfamiliar world of stars to something he knew well enough — a swarm of bees. This casual remark of his made the older children pause and think. The sky now seemed drawn closer to them. "The gaze of all the boys," writes the author, "was lifted towards it and lingered there for a long time."
