A
bee
settling
on
a
flower
has
stung
a
child
.
And
the
child
is
afraid
of
bees
and
declares
that
bees
exist
to
sting
people
.
A
poet
admires
the
bee
sucking
from
the
chalice
of
a
flower
and
says
it
exists
to
suck
the
fragrance
of
flowers
.
A
beekeeper
,
seeing
the
bee
collect
pollen
from
flowers
and
carry
it
to
the
hive
,
says
that
it
exists
to
gather
honey
Another
beekeeper
who
has
studied
the
life
of
the
hive
more
closely
says
that
the
bee
gathers
pollen
dust
to
feed
the
young
bees
and
rear
a
queen
,
and
that
it
exists
to
perpetuate
its
race
.
A
botanist
notices
that
the
bee
flying
with
the
pollen
of
a
male
flower
to
a
pistil
fertilizes
the
latter
,
and
sees
in
this
the
purpose
of
the
bee
's
existence
.
Another
,
observing
the
migration
of
plants
,
notices
that
the
bee
helps
in
this
work
,
and
may
say
that
in
this
lies
the
purpose
of
the
bee
.
But
the
ultimate
purpose
of
the
bee
is
not
exhausted
by
the
first
,
the
second
,
or
any
of
the
processes
the
human
mind
can
discern
.
The
higher
the
human
intellect
rises
in
the
discovery
of
these
purposes
,
the
more
obvious
it
becomes
,
that
the
ultimate
purpose
is
beyond
our
comprehension
.
All
that
is
accessible
to
man
is
the
relation
of
the
life
of
the
bee
to
other
manifestations
of
life
.
And
so
it
is
with
the
purpose
of
historic
characters
and
nations
.
Natásha
's
wedding
to
Bezúkhov
,
which
took
place
in
1813
,
was
the
last
happy
event
in
the
family
of
the
old
Rostóvs
.
Count
Ilyá
Rostóv
died
that
same
year
and
,
as
always
happens
,
after
the
father
's
death
the
family
group
broke
up
.
The
events
of
the
previous
year
:
the
burning
of
Moscow
and
the
flight
from
it
,
the
death
of
Prince
Andrew
,
Natásha
's
despair
,
Pétya
's
death
,
and
the
old
countess
'
grief
fell
blow
after
blow
on
the
old
count
's
head
.
He
seemed
to
be
unable
to
understand
the
meaning
of
all
these
events
,
and
bowed
his
old
head
in
a
spiritual
sense
as
if
expecting
and
inviting
further
blows
which
would
finish
him
.
He
seemed
now
frightened
and
distraught
and
now
unnaturally
animated
and
enterprising
.
The
arrangements
for
Natásha
's
marriage
occupied
him
for
a
while
.
He
ordered
dinners
and
suppers
and
obviously
tried
to
appear
cheerful
,
but
his
cheerfulness
was
not
infectious
as
it
used
to
be
:
on
the
contrary
it
evoked
the
compassion
of
those
who
knew
and
liked
him
.
When
Pierre
and
his
wife
had
left
,
he
grew
very
quiet
and
began
to
complain
of
depression
.
A
few
days
later
he
fell
ill
and
took
to
his
bed
.
He
realized
from
the
first
that
he
would
not
get
up
again
,
despite
the
doctor
's
encouragement
.
The
countess
passed
a
fortnight
in
an
armchair
by
his
pillow
without
undressing
.
Every
time
she
gave
him
his
medicine
he
sobbed
and
silently
kissed
her
hand
.
On
his
last
day
,
sobbing
,
he
asked
her
and
his
absent
son
to
forgive
him
for
having
dissipated
their
property
--
that
being
the
chief
fault
of
which
he
was
conscious
.
After
receiving
communion
and
unction
he
quietly
died
;
and
next
day
a
throng
of
acquaintances
who
came
to
pay
their
last
respects
to
the
deceased
filled
the
house
rented
by
the
Rostóvs
.
All
these
acquaintances
,
who
had
so
often
dined
and
danced
at
his
house
and
had
so
often
laughed
at
him
,
now
said
,
with
a
common
feeling
of
self-reproach
and
emotion
,
as
if
justifying
themselves
:
"
Well
,
whatever
he
may
have
been
he
was
a
most
worthy
man
.
You
do
n't
meet
such
men
nowadays
...
And
which
of
us
has
not
weaknesses
of
his
own
?
"
It
was
just
when
the
count
's
affairs
had
become
so
involved
that
it
was
impossible
to
say
what
would
happen
if
he
lived
another
year
that
he
unexpectedly
died
.
Nicholas
was
with
the
Russian
army
in
Paris
when
the
news
of
his
father
's
death
reached
him
.
He
at
once
resigned
his
commission
,
and
without
waiting
for
it
to
be
accepted
took
leave
of
absence
and
went
to
Moscow
.
The
state
of
the
count
's
affairs
became
quite
obvious
a
month
after
his
death
,
surprising
everyone
by
the
immense
total
of
small
debts
the
existence
of
which
no
one
had
suspected
.
The
debts
amounted
to
double
the
value
of
the
property
.
