He Knew She Was There


“He knew she was there by the rapture and the terror
that seized on his heart. 
She was standing talking to a lady at the opposite
end of the ground. 
There was apparently nothing striking either in
her dress or her attitude. 
But for Levin she was as easy to find in that
crowd as a rose among nettles. 
Everything was made bright by her. 
She was the smile that shed light all around her.” 

~ Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
