Nothing grieved Levin so much as this manner, but it was a manner common to all the numerous stewards he had employed. They all took up the same attitude toward his plans, and therefore he now no longer grew angry with them, but he was grieved, feeling all the more stimulated to resist this, so to say, elemental force for which he could find no other name but 'as God wills,' which always obstructed him.
Nada disgustaba a Levin tanto como aquella actitud, pero todos los encargados que había tenido habían hecho igual; todos obraban del mismo modo con respecto a sus planes. Por eso Levin no se enfadaba ya, sino que se sentía impotente para luchar con aquella fuerza que dijérase primitiva del «como Dios quiera» que siempre acababa por imponerse a sus propósitos.
