I am caught like a beast at ...

I am caught like a beast at bay. Somewhere are people, freedom, light, But all I hear is the baying of the pack, There is no way out for me.

Quotes from the same author

Mother Russia is on the move, she can't stand still, she's restless and can't find rest, she's talking and she can't stop.
 Boris Pasternak
He is her glory. Any woman could say it. For every one of them, God is in her child. Mothers of great men must have been familiar with this feeling, but then, all women are mothers of great men -- it isn't their fault if life disappoints them later.
 Boris Pasternak
All mothers are mothers of great people, and it is not their fault that life later disappoints them.

At the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone.

No single man makes history. History cannot be seen, just as one cannot see grass growing. Wars and revolutions, kings and Robespierres, are history's organic agents, its yeast. But revolutions are made by fanatical men of action with one-track mind, geniuses in their ability to confine themselves to a limited field. They overturn the old order in a few hours or days, the whole upheaval takes a few weeks or at most years, but the fanatical spirit that inspired the upheavals is worshiped for decades thereafter, for centuries.
