Женщины. Сестры

Women is Tolstoy’s own article “The Work of Men and Women” («Труд мужчин и женщин», 1886), shortened; Sisters is his retelling, with Novikov, of Guy de Maupassant’s story “Le Port” (1889).

I. ЖЕНЩИНЫ

I. Women

Призвание всякого человека, мужчины и женщины, в том, чтобы служить людям. С этим общим положением, я думаю, согласны все небезнравственные люди. Разница между мужчинами и женщинами в исполнении этого назначения только в средствах, которыми они его достигают, т. е. чем они служат людям.

The calling of every human being, man and woman, is to serve people. All people who are not immoral, I think, agree with this general proposition. The difference between men and women in fulfilling this calling lies only in the means by which they achieve it, that is, in what they serve people with.

Мужчина служит людям и физической работой — приобретая средства пропитания, и работой умственной — изучением законов природы для побеждения ее, и работой общественной — учреждением форм жизни, установлением отношений между людьми. Средства служения людям для мужчины очень многообразны. Вся деятельность человечества, за исключением деторождения и кормления, составляет поприще этого служения. Женщина же, кроме своей возможности служения людям всеми теми же, как и мужчина средствами, по строению своему призвана, привлечена к тому служению, которое одно исключено из области служения мужчины.

A man serves people by physical work — procuring the means of subsistence; by mental work — studying the laws of nature in order to conquer it; and by social work — instituting forms of life and establishing relations between people. A man’s means of serving people are very varied. All the activity of humanity, apart from childbearing and nursing, makes up the field of this service. A woman, though, besides being able to serve people by all the same means as a man, is by her very constitution called, drawn, to that service which alone is excluded from the sphere of a man’s service.

Служение человечеству само собой разделяется на две части: одно — увеличение блага в существующем человечестве, другое — продолжение самого человечества. К первому призваны преимущественно мужчины, так как они лишены возможности служить второму. Ко второму призваны преимущественно женщины, так как они исключительно способны к нему. Этого различия нельзя, не должно и грешно (т. е. ошибочно) не помнить и стирать. Из этого различия вытекают обязанности тех и других — обязанности, не выдуманные людьми, но лежащие в природе вещей. Из этого же различия вытекает оценка добродетели и порока женщины и мужчины, — оценка, существовавшая во все века и теперь существующая, и никогда не перестающая существовать, пока в людях есть и будет разум.

The service of humanity falls of itself into two parts: one, the increase of the good in humanity as it exists; the other, the continuation of humanity itself. Men are called chiefly to the first, since they are denied the possibility of serving the second. Women are called chiefly to the second, since they alone are capable of it. It is impermissible, it is wrong, and it is sinful (that is, mistaken) to forget this difference and to efface it. From this difference flow the duties of each — duties not invented by people but lying in the nature of things. From this same difference flows the judgment of virtue and vice in a woman and in a man — a judgment that has existed in every age, exists now, and will never cease to exist for as long as there is, and will be, reason in people.

Всегда было и будет то, что мужчина, проводящий бòльшую часть своей жизни в свойственном ему многообразном физическом и умственном, общественном труде, и женщина, проводящая бòльшую часть своей жизни в свойственном исключительно ей труде рождения, кормления и возращения детей, будут одинаково чувствовать, что они делают то, что должно, и, делая эти дела, будут одинаково возбуждать уважение и любовь других людей, потому что оба исполняют то, что предназначено им по их природе.

So it always has been, and so it always will be: a man who spends the greater part of his life in the varied physical, mental, and social labor natural to him, and a woman who spends the greater part of her life in the labor natural to her alone, of bearing, nursing, and rearing children, will alike feel that they are doing what they ought, and in doing this work will alike arouse the respect and love of other people, because both are fulfilling what they are destined for by their nature.

Призвание мужчины многообразнее и шире, призвание женщины однообразнее и уже, но зато глубже, и потому всегда было и будет то, что мужчина, имеющий сотни обязанностей, изменив одной, десяти из них, остается недурным, невредным человеком, исполнившим все-таки часть своего призвания. Женщина же, имеющая малое число обязанностей, изменив одной из них, тотчас же нравственно падает ниже мужчины, изменившего десяти из сотни своих обязанностей. Таково всегда было общее мнение и таково оно всегда будет, потому что такова сущность дела.

A man’s calling is more varied and broader; a woman’s calling is more uniform and narrower, but deeper to make up for it; and so it always has been, and always will be, that a man who has hundreds of duties and betrays one or ten of them remains a decent enough, harmless person, who has after all fulfilled a part of his calling. But a woman, who has few duties, has only to betray one of them to fall at once morally lower than a man who has betrayed ten of his hundred duties. Such has always been the general opinion, and such it will always be, because such is the essence of the matter.

Мужчина для исполнения воли бога должен служить ему и в области физического труда, и мысли, и нравственности: он всеми этими делами может исполнить свое назначение. Для женщины средства служения богу суть преимущественно и почти исключительно (потому что, кроме нее, никто не может этого сделать) дети. Только через произведения свои призван служить богу и людям мужчина; только через детей своих призвана служить женщина.

To do the will of God, a man must serve him in the sphere of physical labor, and of thought, and of morality: by all these works he can fulfill his calling. For a woman the means of serving God are chiefly and almost exclusively (because no one but she can do this) children. Only through his works is a man called to serve God and people; only through her children is a woman called to serve.

И потому любовь к своим детям, вложенная в женщину, исключительная любовь, с которой совершенно напрасно бороться рассудочно, всегда будет и должна быть свойственна женщине-матери. Любовь эта к ребенку в младенчестве есть вовсе не эгоизм, а это есть любовь работника к той работе, которую он делает, в то время как она у него в руках. Отнимите эту любовь к предмету своей работы — и невозможна работа.

And so the love for her own children implanted in a woman, an exclusive love which it is quite useless to fight with reasoning, always will be, and must be, natural to a woman who is a mother. This love for a child in its infancy is not egoism at all; it is the love of workers for the work they are doing while it is in their hands. Take away this love for the object of one’s work, and work is impossible.

То же и с матерью. Мужчина призван служить людям через многообразные работы, и он любит эти работы, пока их делает. Женщина призвана служить людям через своих детей, и она не может не любить этих своих детей, пока она их родит, кормит, воспитывает.

So it is with the mother. A man is called to serve people through varied works, and he loves these works while he is doing them. A woman is called to serve people through her children, and she cannot help loving these children of hers while she is bearing them, nursing them, bringing them up.

По общему призванию — служить богу и людям — мужчина и женщина совершенно равны, несмотря на различие в форме этого служения. Равенство в том, что одно служение столь же важно, как и другое, что одно немыслимо без другого, что одно обусловливает другое и что для действительного служения как мужчине, так и женщине одинаково необходимо знание истины, без которого деятельность как мужчины, так и женщины становится не полезной, но вредной для человечества. Мужчина призван исполнять свой многообразный труд; но труд его тогда только полезен, и его работа — и физическая, и умственная, и общественная — тогда только плодотворна, когда она совершается во имя истины и блага других людей.

In their common calling — to serve God and people — man and woman are entirely equal, despite the difference in the form of this service. The equality lies in this: that the one service is as important as the other, that the one is unthinkable without the other, that the one conditions the other, and that for real service man and woman equally need the knowledge of the truth, without which the activity of man and woman alike becomes not useful but harmful to humanity. A man is called to perform his varied labor; but his labor is useful, and his work — physical, mental, and social — is fruitful, only when it is done in the name of the truth and of the good of other people.

То же и с призванием женщины: ее рождение, кормление и возращение детей будут полезны человечеству только тогда, когда она будет выращивать не просто детей для своей радости, а будущих слуг человечества; когда воспитание этих детей будет совершаться во имя истины и для блага людей, т. е. она будет воспитывать детей так, чтобы они были наилучшими работниками для других людей.

So it is with a woman’s calling: her bearing, nursing, and rearing of children will be useful to humanity only when she raises not simply children for her own joy but future servants of humanity; when the upbringing of these children is carried on in the name of the truth and for the good of people, that is, when she brings up her children so that they may be the best of workers for other people.

«Ну, а те, у которых нет детей, которые не вышли замуж, вдовы?»

“Well, and those who have no children, who have not married, widows?”

Те будут прекрасно делать, если будут участвовать в мужском многообразном труде.

They will do very well if they take part in the varied labor of men.

Всякая женщина, отрожавшая, если у нее есть силы, успеет заняться этою помощью мужчине в его труде. Помощь женщины в этом труде очень драгоценна; но видеть молодую женщину, готовую к деторождению и занятую мужским трудом, всегда будет жалко. Видеть такую женщину — всё равно, что видеть драгоценный чернозем, засыпанный щебнем для плаца или гулянья. Еще жальче: потому что земля эта могла бы родить только хлеб, а женщина могла бы родить то, чему не может быть оценки, выше чего ничего нет — человека. И только она одна может это делать.

Any woman who has done with bearing children will, if she has the strength, have time to take up this helping of men in their labor. A woman’s help in this labor is very precious; but it will always be a pity to see a young woman, ready for childbearing, busy with a man’s labor. To see such a woman is like seeing precious black earth covered over with gravel for a parade ground or a promenade. A greater pity still: for that earth could bear only grain, while a woman could bear that which is beyond all price, above which there is nothing — a human being. And she alone can do it.

3-го мая 1882 года из Гавра отплыл в китайские моря трехмачтовый корабль «Богородица Ветров». Он сдал свой груз в Китае, взял там новый груз, отвез его в Буэнос-Айрес и оттуда повез товары в Бразилию.

On May 3, 1882, the three-masted ship “Our Lady of the Winds” sailed from Le Havre for the China seas. She delivered her cargo in China, took on a new cargo there, carried it to Buenos Aires, and from there took goods to Brazil.

Переезды, повреждения, починки, затишья по нескольку месяцев, ветры, сгонявшие корабль далеко с дороги, морские приключения и несчастия задерживали его так, что он четыре года проплавал по чужим морям, и только 8 мая 1886 года пристал к Марселю с грузом жестяных ящиков с американскими консервами.

Passages, damage, repairs, calms lasting months at a time, winds that drove the ship far off her course, adventures and misfortunes at sea held her up so long that she sailed foreign seas for four years, and only on May 8, 1886, did she put in at Marseille, with a cargo of tin cases of American canned goods.

Когда вышел корабль из Гавра, на нем были капитан, его помощник и 14 матросов. Во время путешествия один матрос умер, четыре пропали при разных приключениях и только девять воротились во Францию. Вместо выбывших матросов на корабле наняли двух американцев, одного негра и одного шведа, которого нашли в одном кабачке в Сингапуре.

When the ship left Le Havre, she had on board the captain, his mate, and 14 sailors. During the voyage one sailor died, four were lost in various mishaps, and only nine came back to France. In place of the men lost, the ship had taken on two Americans, a Negro, and a Swede they had found in a little bar in Singapore.

На корабле подобрали паруса и завязали на мачте крест-накрест снасти. Подошел буксирный пароход и, пыхтя, потащил его на линию кораблей. Море было тихо, у берега еле-еле плескался остаток зыби. Корабль вошел в линию, где стояли вдоль набережной бок о бок корабли из всех стран света, и большие и малые, всяких размеров, форм и оснасток. «Богородица Ветров» стала между итальянским бригом и английской галлетой, которые потеснились, чтобы дать место новому товарищу.

On board they took in the sails and lashed the rigging crosswise on the mast. A steam tug came up and, puffing, towed her to the line of ships. The sea was calm; by the shore the last of the swell lapped faintly. The ship entered the line where ships from every country in the world lay side by side along the quay, large and small, of every size, shape, and rig. The “Our Lady of the Winds” took her place between an Italian brig and an English schooner, which moved over to make room for their new companion.

Как только капитан разделался с таможенными и портовыми чиновниками, он отпустил половину матросов на всю ночь на берег.

As soon as the captain was done with the customs and harbor officials, he let half the crew go ashore for the whole night.

Ночь была теплая, летняя. Марсель был весь освещен, на улицах пахло едой из кухонь, со всех сторон слышался говор, грохот колес и веселые крики.

It was a warm summer night. All Marseille was lit up; the streets smelled of food from the kitchens, and on every side there was talk, the rumble of wheels, and merry shouting.

Матросы с корабля «Богородица Ветров» месяца четыре не были на суше и теперь, сойдя на берег, робко, подвое шли по городу, как чужие, отвыкшие от городов люди. Они осматривались, обнюхивая улицы, ближайшие к пристани, как будто чего-то искали. Четыре месяца они не видали женщин, и их мучала похоть. Впереди их шел Селестин Дюкло, здоровенный и ловкий парень. Он всегда водил других, когда они сходили на берег. Он умел находить хорошие места, умел и отделаться, когда надо было, и не ввязывался в драки, что частенько бывает с матросами, когда они сходят на берег; но если драка завязывалась, то он не отставал от товарищей и умел постоять за себя.

The sailors of the “Our Lady of the Winds” had not been on dry land for some four months, and now that they had come ashore, they walked timidly through the town in twos, like strangers, men no longer used to towns. They looked about them, sniffing at the streets nearest the wharf, as though they were searching for something. For four months they had not seen a woman, and lust tormented them. At their head went Célestin Duclos, a great strapping, nimble fellow. He always led the others when they went ashore. He knew how to find the good places, and how to get away when he had to, and he did not get drawn into fights, as sailors ashore so often do; but if a fight did start, he was right there with his mates and knew how to stand up for himself.

Долго матросы толкались по темным улицам, которые, как стоки, все спускались к морю и из которых несло тяжелым запахом подвалов и чуланов. Наконец Селестин выбрал один узкий переулок, в котором горели над дверями выпуклые фонари, и вошел в него. Матросы, зубоскаля и напевая, шли за ним. На матовых раскрашенных стеклах фонарей были огромные цифры. Под низкими потолками дверей сидели на соломенных стульях женщины в фартуках; они выскакивали при виде матросов и, выбегая на середину улицы, загораживали им дорогу и заманивали каждая в свой притон.

For a long time the sailors knocked about the dark streets, which all ran down to the sea like gutters and gave off a heavy smell of cellars and storerooms. At last Célestin picked out a narrow lane where bulging lanterns burned over the doors, and turned into it. The sailors followed him, cracking jokes and humming. On the painted frosted glass of the lanterns were huge numbers. In the low doorways women in aprons sat on straw chairs; at the sight of the sailors they jumped up and, running out into the middle of the street, barred their way, each luring them into her own den.

Иной раз в глубине сеней нечаянно распахивалась дверь. Из нее показывалась полураздетая девка в грубых бумажных обтянутых штанах, в коротенькой юбке и в бархатном черном нагруднике с позолоченными позументами. «Эй, красавчики, заходите!» звала она еще издали и иногда выбегала сама, цеплялась за кого-нибудь из матросов и тащила его изо всех сил к дверям. Она впивалась в него, как паук, когда он волочит муху сильнее себя. Парень, размякший от похоти, упирался слабо, а остальные останавливались и смотрели, что будет; но Селестин Дюкло кричал: «Не здесь, не заходи. Дальше!» И парень слушался его голоса и силой вырывался у девки. И матросы шли дальше, провожаемые бранью рассерженной девки. На шум вдоль всего переулка выскакивали другие, накидывались на них и хриплыми голосами нахваливали свой товар. Так они шли всё дальше и дальше. Изредка попадались им навстречу то солдаты, стучавшие шпорами, то поодиночке мещанин или приказчик, пробиравшиеся в знакомое место. В других переулках светились такие же фонари, но матросы шли дальше и дальше, шагая через вонючую жижу, сочившуюся из-под домов, полных женскими телами. Но вот Дюкло остановился около одного дома, получше других, и повел туда своих ребят.

Now and then a door at the back of an entry would suddenly fly open. Out of it would come a half-dressed girl in tight drawers of coarse cotton, a short little skirt, and a black velvet bodice trimmed with gilt braid. “Hey, my pretty boys, come on in!” she would call from a way off, and sometimes she would run out herself, catch hold of one of the sailors, and drag him toward the door with all her might. She fastened on him like a spider dragging a fly stronger than itself. The lad, gone soft with lust, would resist feebly, and the others would stop to see what would happen; but Célestin Duclos would shout: “Not here, don’t go in. Farther on!” And the lad would obey his voice and tear himself away from the girl by force. And the sailors would go on, followed by the abuse of the angry girl. At the noise, others would come running out all along the lane, throw themselves at them, and cry up their wares in hoarse voices. So they went on and on. Now and then they met soldiers clanking their spurs, or a townsman or a shop clerk on his own, slipping along to a place he knew. In other lanes the same lanterns were glowing, but the sailors went on and on, stepping through the stinking slime that oozed from under houses full of women’s bodies. But now Duclos stopped by one house, better than the rest, and led his lads into it.

Матросы сидели в большой зале трактира. Каждый из них выбрал себе подругу и уже не расставался с нею весь вечер; такой был обычай в трактире. Три стола были сдвинуты вместе, и матросы прежде всего выпили вместе с девками, потом они поднялись и пошли с ними наверх. Долго и громко стучали толстые башмаки двадцати ног по деревянным ступенькам, пока они все ввалились через узкие двери и разбрелись по спальным комнатам. Из спальных комнат они сходили опять вниз пить, потом опять шли наверх.

The sailors were sitting in the big room of the tavern. Each of them had chosen himself a companion and did not part from her all evening; such was the custom of the tavern. Three tables had been pushed together, and first of all the sailors drank with the girls; then they got up and went upstairs with them. For a long time the heavy shoes of twenty feet clattered loudly on the wooden stairs, until they had all tumbled in through the narrow doors and scattered to the bedrooms. From the bedrooms they came down again to drink, then went up again.

Гульба шла в развал. Всё полугодовое жалованье пошло за четыре часа разгула. К 11 часам они все были уже пьяны и с налитыми кровью глазами несвязно кричали, сами не зная что. У каждого на коленях сидела девка. Кто пел, кто кричал, кто стучал кулаком по столу, кто лил себе в глотку вино. Селестин Дюкло сидел среди товарищей. Верхом у него на коленке сидела крупная, толстая, краснощекая девка. Он выпил не меньше других, но не был еще совсем пьян; у него в голове бродили кое-какие мысли. Он разнежился и искал, о чем бы заговорить с своей подругой. Но мысли приходили ему и тотчас же уходили, и он никак не мог поймать их, вспомнить и высказать.

The carousing was in full swing. Half a year’s wages went in four hours of revelry. By 11 o’clock they were all drunk, and with bloodshot eyes they were shouting incoherently, they themselves did not know what. Each had a girl sitting on his knees. One sang, one shouted, one pounded the table with his fist, one poured wine down his throat. Célestin Duclos sat among his mates. Astride his knee sat a big, fat, red-cheeked girl. He had drunk no less than the others, but he was not yet quite drunk; a few thoughts were drifting about in his head. He had grown tender and was casting about for something to talk about with his companion. But the thoughts came to him and went away again at once, and he could not for the life of him catch them, remember them, and say them.

Он смеялся и говорил:

He laughed and said:

— Так, так-то... так-то... И давно уж ты здесь?

“Well, well… so it goes… so it goes… And have you been here long?”

— Шесть месяцев, — отвечала девка.

“Six months,” the girl answered.

Он кивнул головой, как будто одобрял ее за это.

He nodded, as if he approved of her for it.

— Ну, что же, и хорошо тебе?

“Well, and do you like it?”

Она подумала.

She thought about it.

— Привыкла, — сказала она. — Надо же как-нибудь. Всё же лучше, чем в прислугах или прачках.

“I’m used to it,” she said. “You’ve got to get by somehow. It’s better than being a servant or a washerwoman, anyhow.”

Он одобрительно кивнул головой, как будто и за это он одобрял ее.

He nodded approvingly, as if he approved of her for this too.

— И ты не здешняя?

“And you’re not from here?”

Она покачала головой в знак того, что не здешняя.

She shook her head to show that she was not from here.

— Дальняя?

“From far off?”

Она кивнула.

She nodded.

— А откуда?

“Where from, then?”

Она подумала, как будто припоминала.

She thought, as though she were trying to remember.

— Из Перпиньяна я, — проговорила она.

“Perpignan, that’s where I’m from,” she said.

— Так, так, — проговорил он и замолчал.

“Well, well,” he said, and fell silent.

— А ты, что же, моряк? — спросила теперь она.

“And you — a sailor, are you?” she asked in her turn.

— Да, моряки мы.

“Yes, sailors, that’s us.”

— Что ж, далеко были?

“Been far, then?”

— Да, не близко. Всего насмотрелись.

“Yes, a good way. We’ve seen all sorts.”

— Пожалуй, и вокруг света ездили?

“Been round the world too, I expect?”

— Не то что раз, чуть не два раза объехали.

“Not just once — near enough twice round.”

Она как будто раздумывала, припоминая что-то.

She seemed to be pondering, trying to recall something.

— Я чай, много встречали кораблей? — сказала она.

“I reckon you’ve met plenty of ships?” she said.

— А то как же?

“What do you think?”

— Не попадалась вам «Богородица Ветров»? Такой корабль есть.

“You didn’t come across the ‘Our Lady of the Winds’? There’s a ship of that name.”

Он удивился, что она назвала его корабль, и вздумал пошутить.

He was surprised that she should name his ship, and took it into his head to make a joke.

— Как же, на прошлой неделе встретили.

“Sure we did — met her last week.”

— Правду, в самом деле? — спросила она и побледнела.

“The truth? Really?” she asked, and turned pale.

— Правду.

“The truth.”

— Не врешь?

“You’re not lying?”

— Ей-богу, — побожился он.

“Honest to God,” he swore.

— Ну, а не видал ты там Селестина Дюкло? — спросила она.

“Well, and you didn’t see Célestin Duclos there?” she asked.

— Селестина Дюкло? — повторил он и удивился, и испугался даже. Откуда могла она знать его имя?

“Célestin Duclos?” he repeated, and he was surprised, and even frightened. How could she know his name?

— А его разве знаешь? — спросил он. Видно было, что и она чего-то испугалась.

“Why, do you know him, then?” he asked. It was plain that she too was frightened of something.

— Нет, не я, а женщина тут одна его знает.

“No, not me; there’s a woman here who knows him.”

— Какая женщина? Из этого дома?

“What woman? From this house?”

— Нет, тут поблизости.

“No, near here.”

— Где же поблизости?

“Near where?”

— Да недалеко.

“Oh, not far.”

— Кто же она такая?

“Who is she, then?”

— Да просто женщина, такая же, как я.

“Just a woman, the same as me.”

— А зачем же он ей нужен?

“And what does she want with him?”

— Почему же я знаю. Может землячка его.

“How should I know? Maybe she’s from his parts.”

Они пытливо смотрели прямо в глаза друг другу.

They looked searchingly, straight into each other’s eyes.

— Хотелось бы мне повидаться с этой женщиной, — сказал он.

“I’d like to see this woman,” he said.

— А зачем? Сказать что хочешь?

“What for? Want to tell her something?”

— Сказать...

“To tell her…”

— Что сказать?

“Tell her what?”

— Сказать, что видел Селестина Дюкло.

“Tell her I’ve seen Célestin Duclos.”

— А, ты видел Селестина Дюкло? И жив он и здоров?

“Oh, you’ve seen Célestin Duclos? And is he alive and well?”

— Здоров. А что?

“He’s well. Why?”

Она замолчала, опять собираясь с мыслями, и потом тихо сказала:

She fell silent, gathering her thoughts again, and then said quietly:

— А куда же идет «Богородица Ветров»?

“And where is the ‘Our Lady of the Winds’ bound?”

— Куда? в Марсель.

“Where? To Marseille.”

— Правду?! — вскрикнула она.

“The truth?!” she cried.

— Правду.

“The truth.”

— И ты знаешь Дюкло?

“And you know Duclos?”

— Да ведь сказал, что знаю.

“Didn’t I say I do?”

Она подумала.

She thought about it.

— Так, так. Это хорошо, — тихонько сказала она.

“Well, well. That’s good,” she said softly.

— Да зачем он тебе?

“But what do you want with him?”

— А коли увидишь его, ты ему скажи... Нет, не надо.

“Well, if you see him, you tell him… No, never mind.”

— Да что?

“Tell him what?”

— Нет, ничего.

“No, nothing.”

Он смотрел на нее и тревожился всё больше и больше.

He looked at her and grew more and more uneasy.

— Да ты-то знаешь его? — спросил он.

“But do you know him yourself?” he asked.

— Нет, не знаю.

“No, I don’t.”

— Так зачем же он тебе?

“Then what do you want with him?”

Она, не отвечая, вдруг вскочила, побежала к конторке, за которой сидела хозяйка, взяла лимон, разрезала его, надавила соку в стакан, потом налила туда воды и подала Селестину.

Without answering, she suddenly jumped up, ran to the counter where the proprietress sat, took a lemon, cut it, squeezed the juice into a glass, then poured in water and handed it to Célestin.

— На, выпей-ка, — сказала она, и села, как и прежде сидела, ему на колени.

“Here, drink this,” she said, and sat on his knees again as she had sat before.

— Это зачем? — спросил он, взяв от нее стакан.

“What’s this for?” he asked, taking the glass from her.

— Чтобы хмель прошел. Потом скажу. Пей.

“To clear the drink out of your head. Then I’ll tell you. Drink.”

Он выпил и утер рукавом губы.

He drank it and wiped his lips on his sleeve.

— Ну, говори, я слушаю.

“Well, go on, I’m listening.”

— Да ты не скажешь ему, что меня видел? Не скажешь, от кого слышал то, что скажу?

“But you won’t tell him you saw me? You won’t say who you heard it from, what I’m going to tell you?”

— Ну, хорошо, не скажу.

“All right, I won’t.”

— Побожись!

“Swear to God!”

Он побожился.

He swore to God.

— Ей-богу?

“Honest to God?”

— Ей-богу.

“Honest to God.”

— Так ты ему скажи, что его отец умер, и мать померла, брат тоже помер. Горячка была. В один месяц все трое померли.

“Then tell him his father’s dead, and his mother’s dead, and his brother’s dead too. It was the fever. All three died in one month.”

Дюкло почувствовал, что вся кровь его стеснилась у сердца. Несколько минут просидел он молча, не зная, что сказать, потом выговорил:

Duclos felt all his blood crowd round his heart. For several minutes he sat in silence, not knowing what to say; then he brought out:

— И ты верно знаешь?

“And you know it for certain?”

— Верно.

“For certain.”

— Кто ж тебе сказал?

“Who told you, then?”

Она положила руки ему на плечи и посмотрела прямо в глаза.

She put her hands on his shoulders and looked him straight in the eyes.

— Побожись, что не разболтаешь.

“Swear to God you won’t blab.”

— Ну, побожился: ей-богу.

“There, I’ve sworn: honest to God.”

— Я сестра ему.

“I’m his sister.”

— Франсуаза! — вскрикнул он.

“Françoise!” he cried.

Она пристально посмотрела на него и тихо-тихо пошевелила губами, почти не выпуская слов.

She looked at him intently and moved her lips very, very softly, hardly letting the words out.

— Так это ты — Селестин!

“So it’s you — Célestin!”

Они не шевелились, замерли, как были, смотрели в глаза друг другу.

They did not stir; they froze as they were, looking into each other’s eyes.

А вокруг них остальные орали пьяными голосами. Звон стаканов, стук ладонями и каблуками и пронзительный визг женщин перемешивались с гамом песен.

And all around them the others were bawling in drunken voices. The clink of glasses, the pounding of palms and heels, and the shrill squealing of the women mingled with the din of the songs.

— Как же это так? — тихо, так тихо, что даже она едва-едва разобрала его слова, проговорил он.

“How can it be?” he said softly, so softly that even she could barely make out his words.

Глаза ее вдруг налились слезами.

Her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

— Да так, померли. Все трое в один месяц, — продолжала она. — Что ж мне было делать? Осталась я одна. В аптеку, да к доктору, за похороны троих... продала, что было, вещей, расплатилась и осталась, в чем была. Поступила в прислуги к барину Кашо, — помнишь, хромой такой. Мне только что пятнадцать лет минуло; мне ведь и четырнадцати еще не было, когда ты-то уехал. С ним согрешила... Дура ведь наша сестра. Потом в няньки поступила к нотариусу. Он тоже. Сначала взял на содержание, жила на квартире. Да недолго. Бросил он меня, я три дня не евши жила, никто не берет, и поступила вот сюда, как и прочие.

“It just happened — they died. All three in one month,” she went on. “What was I to do? I was left alone. What with the pharmacy, and the doctor, and burying three… I sold what things there were, paid it all off, and was left with just the clothes on my back. I went into service with Monsieur Cacheux — you remember, the lame one. I’d only just turned fifteen; why, I wasn’t even fourteen yet when you went away. I sinned with him… We girls are such fools. Then I went to a notary’s as a nursemaid. Him too. At first he kept me, and I lived in lodgings. But not for long. He dropped me; I went three days without eating, nobody would take me on, and so I came here, like the rest.”

Она говорила, и слезы ручьем текли у ней из глаз, из носа, мочили щеки и вливались в рот.

She talked, and the tears streamed from her eyes and her nose, wetting her cheeks and running into her mouth.

— Что ж это мы наделали? — проговорил он.

“What have we done?” he said.

— Я думала, и ты тоже умер, — сказала она сквозь слезы. — Разве это от меня? — прошептала она.

“I thought you were dead too,” she said through her tears. “Was it up to me?” she whispered.

— Как же ты меня не узнала? — также шепотом сказал он.

“How was it you didn’t know me?” he said, whispering too.

— Я не знаю, я не виновата, — продолжала она и еще пуще заплакала.

“I don’t know; it’s not my fault,” she went on, and wept harder still.

— Разве я мог узнать тебя? Разве ты такая была, когда я уехал? Ты-то как не узнала?

“How could I have known you? Were you like this when I went away? But you — how could you not know me?”

Она с отчаянием махнула рукой.

She waved her hand in despair.

— Ах! Я их столько, этих мужчин, вижу, что они мне все на одно лицо.

“Oh! I see so many of them, these men, that they all have the same face to me.”

Сердце его сжималось так больно и так сильно, что ему хотелось кричать и реветь, как маленькому мальчику, когда его бьют.

His heart was wrung so painfully and so hard that he wanted to cry out and howl like a little boy being beaten.

Он поднялся, отстранил ее от себя и, схватив своими большими матросскими лапами ее голову, пристально стал вглядываться в ее лицо.

He got up, held her away from him, and, taking her head in his big sailor’s paws, began to look intently into her face.

Мало-помалу он узнал в ней, наконец, ту маленькую, тоненькую и веселенькую девочку, которую он оставил дома с теми, кому она закрыла глаза.

Little by little he at last recognized in her the small, slight, merry little girl he had left at home with those whose eyes she had closed.

— Да, ты Франсуаза! сестра! — проговорил он.

“Yes, you’re Françoise! Sister!” he said.

И вдруг рыдания, тяжелые рыдания мужчины, похожие на икоту пьяницы, поднялись в его горле. Он отпустил ее голову, ударил по столу так, что стаканы опрокинулись и разлетелись вдребезги, и закричал диким голосом.

And suddenly sobs, the heavy sobs of a man, like a drunkard’s hiccups, rose in his throat. He let go of her head, struck the table so that the glasses tipped over and flew to pieces, and cried out in a wild voice.

Товарищи его обратились к нему и уставились на него.

His mates turned toward him and stared.

— Вишь, как надулся! — сказал один. — Будет орать-то, — сказал другой. — Эй! Дюкло! Что орешь? Идем опять наверх, — сказал третий, одной рукой дергая Селестина за рукав, а другой обнимая свою хохотавшую, раскрасневшуюся, с блестящими черными глазами, подругу в шелковом розовом открытом лифе.

“Look how soused he is!” said one. “That’s enough of your bawling,” said another. “Hey! Duclos! What are you bawling about? Let’s go upstairs again,” said a third, tugging at Célestin’s sleeve with one hand and with the other hugging his girl, who was laughing, flushed, her black eyes shining, in a low-cut bodice of pink silk.

Дюкло вдруг замолк и, затаив дыхание, уставился на товарищей. Потом с тем странным и решительным выражением, с которым, бывало, вступал в драку, он, шатаясь, подошел к матросу, обнимавшему девку, и ударил рукой между им и девкой, разделяя их.

Duclos suddenly went quiet and, holding his breath, stared at his mates. Then, with the strange, resolute look he used to have when he went into a fight, he staggered over to the sailor who was hugging the girl and struck his hand down between him and the girl, parting them.

— Прочь! Разве не видишь, она сестра тебе! Все они кому-нибудь да сестры. Вот и эта сестра Франсуаза. Ха-ха-ха-ха... — зарыдал он рыданиями, похожими на хохот, и он зашатался, поднял руки и грянулся лицом на пол. И стал кататься по полу, колотясь о него и руками и ногами, хрипя, как умирающий.

“Get away! Can’t you see she’s a sister to you! They’re all somebody’s sisters. This one too is a sister: Françoise. Ha-ha-ha-ha…” he sobbed, with sobs like guffaws, and he staggered, raised his arms, and crashed face down on the floor. And he began to roll about the floor, beating on it with his hands and feet, his breath rattling like a dying man’s.

— Надо его уложить спать, — сказал один из товарищей, — а то как бы на улице не засадили его.

“We’ll have to put him to bed,” said one of his mates, “or else he might get run in out on the street.”

И они подняли Селестина и втащили наверх в комнату Франсуазы и уложили его на ее постель.

And they lifted Célestin up and hauled him upstairs into Françoise’s room and laid him on her bed.

Л. Н. Толстой (по Мопассану).

Leo Tolstoy (after Maupassant)

Women is Tolstoy’s own article “The Work of Men and Women” («Труд мужчин и женщин», 1886), shortened; Sisters is his retelling, with Novikov, of Guy de Maupassant’s story “Le Port” (1889).

Translation notes

  1. Tolstoy uses призвание and назначение for the same thing here; both are “calling.” ↑
  2. Black earth: «чернозем», the rich black soil of the Russian steppe. Tolstoy has one verb, родить, for the soil yielding grain and the woman giving birth, as English “bear” does. ↑
  3. Tolstoy gives the ship’s name in Russian, «Богородица Ветров», literally “the Mother of God of the Winds”; in French she is the Notre-Dame-des-Vents. ↑
  4. «Негр», the ordinary word of the day, is given in the period’s English, as in the authors Tolstoy quotes and retells. ↑
  5. «Галлета» is not an ordinary Russian word; it is Tolstoy’s form of the French goélette, a schooner. ↑
  6. Cacheux: Tolstoy writes «Кашо». “We girls are such fools”: «Дура ведь наша сестра», literally “our sister is a fool,” the common idiom for “women like us”; the word is the title’s, «Сестры». ↑

Призвание всякого человека, мужчины и женщины, в том, чтобы служить людям. С этим общим положением, я думаю, согласны все не безнравственные люди. Разница между мужчинами и женщинами в исполнении этого назначения только в средствах, которыми они его достигают, т. е. чем они служат людям.

Этого различия нельзя, не должно и грешно (т. е. ошибочно) не помнить и стирать. Из этого различия вытекают обязанности тех и других, обязанности не выдуманные людьми, но лежащие в природе вещей.
Из этого же различия вытекает оценка добродетели и порока женщины и мужчины — оценка, существовавшая во все века и теперь существующая и никогда не перестанущая существовать, пока в людях был, есть и будет разум.

По общему призванию — служить Богу и людям — мужчина и женщина совершенно равны, несмотря на различие в форме этого служения. Равенство в том, что одно служение столь же важно, как и другое, что одно немыслимо без другого, что одно обусловливает другое и что для действительного служения как мужчине, так женщине одинаково необходимо знание истины, без которого деятельность как мужчины, так и женщины становится не полезной, но вредной для человечества.
Как бы усердно ни занимался мужчина увеличением своих удовольствий, праздным умствованием и общественной деятельностью для своей пользы, труд его не будет плодотворен. Он будет плодотворен только тогда, когда будет направлен к тому, чтобы уменьшить страдания людей от нужды, от невежества и от ложного общественного устройства.

То же и с призванием женщины: ее рождение, кормление, возращение детей будет полезно человечеству только тогда, когда она будет выращивать не просто детей для своей радости, а будущих слуг человечества; когда воспитание этих детей будет совершаться во имя истины и для блага людей, т. е. она будет воспитывать детей так, чтобы они были наилучшими людьми и работниками для других людей.
Идеальная женщина, по мне, будет та, которая, усвоив высшее миросозерцание того времени, в котором она живет, отдается своему женскому, непреодолимо вложенному в нее призванию — родит, выкормит и воспитает наибольшее количество детей, способных работать для людей, по усвоенному ей миросозерцанию.
Для того же чтобы усвоить себе высшее миросозерцание, мне кажется, нет надобности посещать курсы, а нужно только прочесть Евангелие и не закрывать глаз, ушей и, главное, сердца.

Cut: the Château d'If, the grey rocks of the roadstead in the golden haze of sunset, and the old port as "a bouillabaisse of boats" marinating in putrid water (the Jubilee commentary, vol. 27, notes this cut already in A. M. Novikov's draft translation).

Dès qu’ils se sentirent sur le port, les dix hommes que la mer roulait depuis des mois se mirent en marche tout doucement, avec une hésitation d’êtres dépaysés, désaccoutumés des villes, deux par deux, en procession.
Ils se balançaient, s’orientaient, flairant les ruelles qui aboutissent au port, enfiévrés par un, appétit d’amour qui avait grandi dans leurs corps pendant leurs derniers soixante-six jours de. mer.
Les normands marchaient en tête, conduits par Célestin Duclos, un grand gars fort et malin qui servait de capitaine aux autres chaque fois qu’ils mettaient pied à terre. Il devinait les bons endroits, inventait des tours de sa façon et ne s’aventurait pas trop dans les bagarres si fréquentes entre matelots dans les ports. Mais quand il y était pris il ne redoutait personne.

As soon as they felt themselves on shore, the ten men, whom the sea had been tossing about for some months past, proceeded along quite slowly with the hesitating steps of persons who are out of their element, unaccustomed to cities, two by two, procession.
They swayed from one side to another as they walked, looked about them, smelling out the lanes opening out on the harbor, rendered feverish by the amorous appetite which had been growing to maturity in their bodies during their last sixty-six days at sea.
The Normans strode on in front, led by Célestin Duclos, a tall young fellow, sturdy and waggish, who served as a captain for the others every time they set forth on land. He divined the places worth visiting, found out by-ways after a fashion of his own, and did not take much part in the squabbles so frequent among sailors in seaport towns. But, once he was caught in one, he was afraid of nobody.

Après quelque hésitation entre toutes les rues obscures qui descendent vers la mer comme des égouts et dont sortent des odeurs lourdes, une sorte d’haleine de bouges, Célestin se décida pour une espèce de couloir tortueux où brillaient, au-dessus des portes, des lanternes en saillie portant des numéros énormes sur leurs verres dépolis et colorés. Sous la voûte étroite des entrées, des femmes en tablier, pareilles à des bonnes, assises sur des chaises de paille, se levaient en les voyant venir, faisant trois pas jusqu’au ruisseau qui séparait la rue en deux, et coupaient la route à cette file d’hommes qui s’avançaient lentement, en chantonnant et en ricanant, allumés déjà par le voisinage de ces prisons de prostituées.

After some hesitation as to which of the obscure streets which lead down to the waterside, and from which arise heavy smells, a sort of exhalation from closets, they ought to enter, Célestin gave the preference to a kind of winding passage, where gleamed over the doors projecting lanterns bearing enormous numbers on their rough colored glass. Under the narrow arches at the entrance to the houses, women wearing aprons like servants, seated on straw chairs, rose up on seeing them coming near, taking three steps towards the gutter which separated the street into two halves, and which cut off the path from this file of men, who sauntered along at their leisure, humming and sneering, already getting excited by the vicinity of those dens of prostitutes.

Quelquefois, au fond d’un vestibule apparaissait, derrière une seconde porte ouverte soudain et capitonnée de cuir brun, une grosse fille dévêtue, dont les cuisses lourdes et les mollets gras se dessinaient brusquement sous un grossier maillot de coton blanc. Sa jupe courte avait l’air d’une ceinture bouffante ; et la chair molle de sa poitrine, de ses épaules et de ses bras, faisait une tache rose sur un corsage de velours noir bordé d’un galon d’or.
Elle appelait de loin : « Venez-vous, jolis garçons ? » et parfois sortait elle-même pour s’accrocher à l’un d’eux et l’attirer vers sa porte, de toute sa force, cramponnée à lui comme une araignée qui traîne une bête plus grosse qu’elle.
Célestin Duclos, qui s’y connaissait en maisons, criait soudain : « Entre pas là, Marchand, c’est pas l’endroit.
Ils allaient toujours dans ce labyrinthe de bouges, sur ces pavés gras où suintaient des eaux putrides, entre ces murs pleins de chair de femme.

Sometimes, at the end of a hall, appeared, behind a second open door, which presented itself unexpectedly, covered over with dark leather, a big wench, undressed, whose heavy thighs and fat calves abruptly outlined themselves under her coarse white cotton wrapper. Her short petticoat had the appearance of a puffed out girdle; and the soft flesh of her breast, her shoulders, and her arms, made a rosy stain on a black velvet corsage with edgings of gold lace.
She kept calling out from her distant corner, "Will you come here, my pretty boys?" and sometimes she would go out herself to catch hold of one of them, and to drag him towards her door with all her strength, fastening on to him like a spider drawing forward an insect bigger than itself.
Célestin Duclos, who was a judge of houses of this sort, suddenly exclaimed: "Don't go in there, Marchand! That's not the place."
They pursued their way still through this labyrinth of squalid habitation, over those greasy pavements through which putrid water was oozing, between those walls filled with women's flesh.

Two paragraphs joined and toned down. Of the girl in the doorway Tolstoy keeps her clothes (tight cotton drawers, short skirt, black velvet bodice with gilt braid) and drops her body (heavy thighs, fat calves, the soft rosy flesh of bosom, shoulders and arms); "Don't go in there, Marchand, it's not the place" loses the sailor's name; the two "choirs" of the lane, enticing above and cursing below, are cut. Maupassant's "walls full of women's flesh" becomes "houses full of women's bodies" (Tolstoy's own last correction of the draft's "полных бабьего мяса", Jubilee vol. 27).

La fête fut complète ! Quatre heures durant, les dix matelots se gorgèrent d’amour et de vin. Six mois de solde y passèrent.
Maintenant, presque gris, ils gueulaient ! Chacun d’eux, les yeux rouges, sa préférée sur les genoux, chantait ou criait, tapait à coups de poings la table, s’entonnait du vin dans la gorge, lâchait en liberté la brute humaine.
Au milieu d’eux, Célestin Duclos, serrant contre lui une grande fille aux joues rouges, à cheval sur ses jambes, la regardait avec ardeur. Moins ivre que les autres, non qu’il eût moins bu, il avait encore d’autres pensées, et, plus tendre, cherchait à causer. Ses idées le fuyaient un peu, s’en allaient, revenaient et disparaissaient sans qu’il pût se souvenir au juste de ce qu’il avait voulu dire.

Then followed a scene of thorough going revelry. For four hours the six sailors gorged themselves with love and wine. Six months' pay was thus wasted.
Now, almost intoxicated, they began to howl. Each of them, with bloodshot eyes, and his chosen female companion on his knee, sang or bawled, struck the table with his fist, shouted while swilling wine down his throat, set free the human brute.
In the midst of them, Célestin Duclos, pressing close to him, a big damsel with red cheeks, who sat astride over his legs, gazed at her ardently. Less tipsy than the others, not that he had taken less drink, he was as yet occupied with other thoughts, and, more tender than his comrades, he tried to get up a chat. His thoughts wandered a little, escaped him, and then came back, and disappeared again, without allowing him to recollect exactly what he meant to say.

The opening of Maupassant's part II ("The feast was complete! For four hours the ten sailors gorged themselves on love and wine. Six months' pay went on it.") is moved here and joined to his picture of the drinking. "By eleven o'clock" is Tolstoy's; "set loose the human brute" is cut; the girl astride Célestin's knee stays, but "he looked at her with ardour" goes, and "more tender" becomes "he grew soft".

— Ils sont morts.
— Les trois en un mois, comme je t’ai dit. J’ai resté seule, sans rien que mes hardes, vu que je devions le pharmacien, l’médecin et l’enterrement des trois défunts, que j’ai payé avec les meubles.
J’entrai pour lors comme servante chez maît’e Cacheux, tu sais bien, l’boiteux. J’avais quinze ans tout juste à çu moment-là pisque t’es parti quand j’en avais point quatorze. J’ai fait une faute avec li. On est si bête quand on est jeune. Pi j’allai comme bonne du notaire qui m’a aussi débauchée et qui me conduisit au Havre dans une chambre. Bientôt il n’est point r’venu ; j’ai passé trois jours sans manger et pi ne trouvant pas d’ouvrage, je suis entrée en maison, comme bien d’autres.

"They are dead."
"The three in one month, and I told you. I was left by myself with nothing but my clothes, for I was in debt to the apothecary and the doctor and for the funeral of the three, and had to pay what I owed with the furniture."
After that I went as a servant to the house of Mait'e Cacheux--you know him well--the cripple. I was just fifteen at the time, for you went away when I was not quite fourteen. I tripped with him. One is so senseless when one is young. Then I went as a nursery-maid to the notary who debauched me also, and brought me to Havre, where he took a room for me. After a little while, he gave up coming to see me. For three days I lived without eating a morsel of food; and then, not being able to get employment, I went to a house, like many others.

His two questions ("So they are dead!", "Father, mother and brother?") are dropped and her answers run together as one speech. Cut: the notary taking her "to Le Havre, to a room", and her tour of brothels, "I've seen country too, and dirty country! Rouen, Évreux, Lille, Bordeaux, Perpignan, Nice, and then Marseille" (cut by Tolstoy in his last revision, Jubilee vol. 27). "One is so stupid when young" becomes "We women are fools" (Дура ведь наша сестра, literally "our sister"), a word that prepares the ending.

Changed. In Maupassant he still holds her astride him, his open hands on her back, and takes her head in his big sailor's paws to kiss her "as one kisses kindred flesh". Tolstoy's Duclos gets up, puts her away from him, takes her head and peers into her face. The kiss was in the draft; Tolstoy replaced it, and cut the two sentences about her still sitting astride him, in his last revision (Jubilee vol. 27).

What are you yelling for? Come upstairs again."

Tolstoy's own, not Maupassant's: Duclos falls silent, stares at his comrades, and "with that strange, resolute look with which he used to go into a fight" staggers to the sailor embracing the girl and strikes his hand down between them. Only the stagger is Maupassant's (he takes three steps and reels before falling); the fighting look recalls Maupassant's portrait of Duclos ashore (W.23).
