is this a Pasternak joke, I wonder? I'm also wondering how his Orthodox Christianity colours Zhivago's and Lara's extra-marital relationship. Why doesn't Yuri go with her?
I'm confused by another thing, but it's difficult to approach. Maybe because it's massively presumptuous of me to even try to engage you in conversation about it. So please understand before I say it that I do not mean to challenge you, judge you, criticize you, tell you what to do or in any other way interfere with your life, and of course I'll understand if you choose not to answer. I am a reader asking for clarification, nothing more.
OK. I'll be damned if I'm the first to get in touch is a sentiment that's utterly alien to me. I really don't think I've ever had that thought myself and I wouldn't anticipate it in anyone else. If I want to talk to someone I contact them, if I have nothing to say or I'm wrapped up in other things then time will go by without contact, but that doesn't mean the person is not in my thoughts or I'm communicating by not communicating or anything of the sort. So my question is, do you expect that this person knows you're waiting for him to contact you? Is there more going on here than mere radio silence?
