“After my own operation I had experienced unremitting, unbearable pain, and over the course of ten days, every evening before sleep, that same Margarita would inject me with morphine. I cannot recall another so blissful and happy state that could compare with what you begin to feel several minutes after the injection. Somewhere inside there slowly spreads a sweet warmth, your head is enveloped by a clairvoyant drowsiness, pain seems to dissolve, and purposely you try not to fall asleep, so that inimitable condition might endure without end.”
Yury Felsen, “A Miracle”, 1934.
