A candle just brought in gradually lit up the study and its familiar details became visible: the stag's horns, the book shelves, the looking-glass, the hot-air aperture of the stove with its brass lid, which had long been in need of repair, his father's couch, the large table on which were an open volume, a broken ash-tray, and an exercise-book in his handwriting. When he saw all this, he was overcome by a momentary doubt of the possibility of starting the new life of which he had been dreaming on his way.
En el cuarto, y a la débil luz de una bujía traída por la servidumbre, fueron surgiendo los detalles familiares: las astas de ciervo, las estanterías llenas de libros, el espejo, la estufa con el ventilador hacía tiempo necesitado de arreglo, el diván del padre de Levin, la inmensa mesa y sobre ella un libro abierto, el cenicero roto, un cuaderno escrito con notas de su mano.
