Dear SEELANGers,
        Could anyone help me identify the source of the following quote?

"Kak bogi na nedostupnykh nebesakh"

It is from Fedor Sologub's play Liubvi (1907, first drafts from 1894) and
occurs when the main character, Reatov, is questioning Dunaev, his
daughter's suitor, about the nature of his love (Sobranie sochinenii, vol.
8, 143).  Dunaev does not love this way, but apparently Reatov (who also
loves his daughter, but not as fathers usually do) does.

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.  Please reply
off-list to me at jmerrill at drew.edu
