"We work from morning to late evening. Or legs are throbbing.
We take the paintings off the walls… There is not the usual feeling
of awe for the masterpieces, although we deliberately wrapped Danae up slowly. Come on, com on — let’s
get everything away! Downstairs the sculptors are packing something
into crates. Orbeli is everywhere in the halls. The team of artists
thins out with every passing day. The empty Hermitage is like a house
from which a corpse has been carried out."
