Spring is the time for making plans and resolutions, and Levin, like a tree which in the spring-time does not yet know in which direction and in what manner its young shoots and twigs (still imprisoned in their buds) will develop, did not quite know what work on his beloved land he was going to take in hand, but he felt that his mind was full of the finest plans and resolutions.
La primavera es la época de los planes y de los propósitos. Al salir del patio, Levin, como un árbol en primavera que no sabe aún cómo y hacia dónde crecerán sus jóvenes tallos y los brotes cautivos en sus capullos, ignoraba aún lo que empezaría ahora en su amada propiedad, pero se sentía henchido de hermosos y grandes propósitos.
