Grief (Nikolai Bogdanov-Belsky, 1909)
Whose untimely death is being mourned here? Is it a beloved wife and mother? Or, is it a little son or daughter carried away by a childhood disease? Or, is it the news of a son who is not going to return from the army because he fell on a foreign field? One doesn’t know… But, one thing is certain, no matter if the family is humble, of the middle classes, or of the nobility, the emotion felt is the same… exactly the same.
