"The magnificence of the empty, partially ruined Hermitage seemed
unreal. Marble and gilding beneath a layer of hoar-frost. It was a terrible
business to have to tread on the steps of the Jordan Staircase… they
were completely covered with bits of some film — the ceiling painting
that had peeled away and fallen down."
