The Virgin of the Underhead is marvelous only in that it is not marvelous. No one has seen her mind and no one knows about her, and therefore no word about her. The exterior of her is the most common: the nose of the papas, the beard of the mammas, the eyes of the cat, the bust medium. He knows how to play the piano, but without notes; his mommy helps in the kitchen, he doesn't walk without a corset, he can't eat lean, in the understanding of the letter "ѣ" he sees the beginning and end of all wisdom and most of all in the world he loves noble men and the name "Roland."
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov "Before the Wedding"
