Tales from Tolstoi
know now that people only seem to live when they are caring for themselves, and that it is only by love that they really live. He who is in Love is in God and God in him, because God is Love."
And the Angel sang the glory of God; and the hut trembled at his voice, and the roof parted asunder, and a pillar of fire shot up from earth to Heaven. And Simon and his wife fell down with their faces to the ground; and wings burst forth from the Angel's shoulders, and he ascended up into Heaven.
And when Simon looked up, the hut stood there as before, and in the hut was none but those of his own household.
