Old Valaam

New

"Like Saint Athos, Valaam still shines today. Athos is in the south, Valaam is in the north. In our twilight time, in the encroaching 'night of the world' — beacons are needed. I recalled a bright page — in the... past. Recently, as if to strengthen myself, I learned that two novices, whom I happened to meet at Valaam, noted in my book, have accomplished a feat over the years. I found out that they have become 'a light to the world', that they are alive. Valaam gave them obedience. And now, living threads have stretched from 'now' — to the past, this past shines for me. In this light — there is that Valaam, distant. And I thought it would be useful to remember and tell about it: it is still the same, bright" (I.S. Shmelev. Old Valaam. 1933-1936). . .
