They
were
silent
awhile
.
"
But
why
go
to
Petersburg
?
"
Natásha
suddenly
asked
,
and
hastily
replied
to
her
own
question
.
"
But
no
,
no
,
he
must
...
Yes
,
Mary
,
He
must
...
"
Seven
years
had
passed
.
The
storm-tossed
sea
of
European
history
had
subsided
within
its
shores
and
seemed
to
have
become
calm
.
But
the
mysterious
forces
that
move
humanity
(
mysterious
because
the
laws
of
their
motion
are
unknown
to
us
)
continued
to
operate
.
Though
the
surface
of
the
sea
of
history
seemed
motionless
,
the
movement
of
humanity
went
on
as
unceasingly
as
the
flow
of
time
.
Various
groups
of
people
formed
and
dissolved
,
the
coming
formation
and
dissolution
of
kingdoms
and
displacement
of
peoples
was
in
course
of
preparation
.
The
sea
of
history
was
not
driven
spasmodically
from
shore
to
shore
as
previously
.
It
was
seething
in
its
depths
.
Historic
figures
were
not
borne
by
the
waves
from
one
shore
to
another
as
before
.
They
now
seemed
to
rotate
on
one
spot
.
The
historical
figures
at
the
head
of
armies
,
who
formerly
reflected
the
movement
of
the
masses
by
ordering
wars
,
campaigns
,
and
battles
,
now
reflected
the
restless
movement
by
political
and
diplomatic
combinations
,
laws
,
and
treaties
.
The
historians
call
this
activity
of
the
historical
figures
"
the
reaction
.
"
In
dealing
with
this
period
they
sternly
condemn
the
historical
personages
who
,
in
their
opinion
,
caused
what
they
describe
as
the
reaction
.
All
the
well-known
people
of
that
period
,
from
Alexander
and
Napoleon
to
Madame
de
Staël
,
Photius
,
Schelling
,
Fichte
,
Chateaubriand
,
and
the
rest
,
pass
before
their
stern
judgment
seat
and
are
acquitted
or
condemned
according
to
whether
they
conduced
to
progress
or
to
reaction
.
According
to
their
accounts
a
reaction
took
place
at
that
time
in
Russia
also
,
and
the
chief
culprit
was
Alexander
I
,
the
same
man
who
according
to
them
was
the
chief
cause
of
the
liberal
movement
at
the
commencement
of
his
reign
,
being
the
savior
of
Russia
.
There
is
no
one
in
Russian
literature
now
,
from
schoolboy
essayist
to
learned
historian
,
who
does
not
throw
his
little
stone
at
Alexander
for
things
he
did
wrong
at
this
period
of
his
reign
.
