 CHAPITRE X

Les amours tragiques de cet Arabe, victime de l’instinct, avaient

vivement intéressé Orschanow. Un nouveau classement d’idées s’était
fait définitivement en lui. Il comprenait mieux, et d’une façon nouvelle,
pourquoi il avait quitté Véra en l’adorant, pourquoi il avait dû la quitter.
L’amour de Véra l’avait d’abord guéri des servitudes
révolutionnaires et, presque aussitôt, il avait dépassé cette étape : il
s’était évadé de la chaude petite cage du bonheur parce qu’il portait en
lui-même le sentiment de l’espace et parce qu’il éprouvait contrairement
à tant d’êtres, le besoin d’être seul et de finir.
Tout d’abord cette manière d’être lui avait paru monstrueuse, et
maintenant voilà qu’il y voyait une supériorité, le but peut-être de
l’évolution humaine en un effort vers l’individualité et la liberté, brisant
la chaîne des associations et des sexes, s’élevant toujours plus haut vers
plus de vérité, acceptant la passion mais dépassant l’amour qui continue
la chaîne des êtres.
Cette pensée d’ailleurs, il l’avait cueillie analogue, un jour, au bord
de sa route et l’avait mise comme une fleurette de montagne dans son
carnet de notes. C’était à Genève, dans la grande bibliothèque claire. En
ouvrant un volume de Chateaubriand, il avait tressailli en lisant :
« Cette impossibilité de durée et de longueur dans les liaisons
humaines, cet oubli profond qui nous suit, cet invincible silence qui
s’empare de notre tombe et s’étend de là sur notre maison, me ramènent
sans cesse à la nécessité de l’isolement. Toute main est bonne pour nous
donner le verre d’eau dont nous pouvons avoir besoin dans la fièvre de la
mort. Ah ! qu’elle ne nous soit pas trop chère ! car comment abandonner
sans désespoir la main que l’on a couverte de baisers et que l’on voudrait
tenir éternellement sur son cœur ? »
Orschanow avait porté cela sur lui comme une formule bizarre. Il
n’en avait pas encore éprouvé la force de talisman. Il avait fallu cette
banale histoire arabe pour lui découvrir le sens de ses actions.
Maintenant il possédait une vérité précieuse qui lui eût permis de braver
toutes les servitudes et le visage de son amie lointaine s’en éclaira.
La pensée de la femme quittée lui fut bonne et mordante : elle l’aida
à se sentir plus fort.
*
* *

Sans se préoccuper de la présence du sombre Bicot, Orschanow lui

savait gré d’être là et d’avoir parlé. Ils marchaient, se tenant par le petit
doigt de la main, suivant la fraternelle coutume musulmane. Sur cette
piste des Hauts-Plateaux du Sud, l’étudiant russe atteignit, pendant
quelques minutes, à la conscience heureuse de sa solitude affranchie, il
se trouva maître de lui-même et, sous la lourde capote militaire, il sourit
à sa jeune liberté.
Pourquoi se torturer d’un chétif amour quand la grande passion de
vivre flambait si diverse sous les soleils du monde, dans la splendeur de
l’Univers ? Véra, Véra plus belle d’être lointaine ! comme il tendait vers
elle, comme il respirait son âme dans le crépuscule, comme il la
possédait, comme il se pénétrait de son essence éternelle !

Maintenant, assis, les jambes croisées, il écrivait sur ses genoux avec
la lenteur et l’application d’un thaleb arabe :

« Véra inoubliée,

« Je t’écris pour te réjouir, car je sais que, toi aussi, tu ne

m’oublies pas. La pauvre chair lamentable qui se tordait en des
convulsions inutiles n’est plus. Comme toi, maintenant, je suis fort,
et je suis heureux, j’aime la vie et le soleil. Makarow a eu raison de
me laisser partir. Remercie-le pour moi. C’est la bonne route libre
qui m’a sauvé, et toutes les fois que tu regarderas la route, remercie-
la, dis-toi bien que c’est elle, la bonne mère accueillante, qui a
régénéré ton Dmitri, qui l’a sauvé de la déchéance et de la mort.
Adieu, et puisse le soleil de la vie illuminer ta voie, comme il
illumina la mienne.

« Ton Dmitri Orschanow. »

En rentrant au campement il jeta la lettre à la boîte.
Il n’avait donné à Véra aucune adresse.
A quoi bon ?

cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™
work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project

Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg

Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,

Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and
up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s
website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without

widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project

Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network
of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
