Gogol sentence

[Valentino, Russell]

Dear colleagues,

I'm having trouble parsing this sentence from Dead Souls, Part I, Chapter V.

"Vezde, gde by ni bylo v zhizni, sredi li cherstvykh, sherokhovato-bednykh i neopriatno-plesneiushchikh nizmennykh riadov ee, ili sredi odnoobrazno-khladnykh i skuchno-opriatnykh soslovii vyshhikh, vezde khot' raz vstretitsia na puti cheloveku iavlen'e, ne pokhozhee na vse to, chto sluchalos' emu videt' dotole, kotoroe khot' raz probudit v nem chuvstvo, ne pokhozhee na te, kotorye suzhdeno emu chuvstvovat' vsiu zhin'."

The first "vezde" seems to go with the whole phrase "vezde, gde by ni bylo," meaning "wherever." But the second "vezde" seems fragmented and incomplete. It suggests something more like "somewhere" rather than "everywhere," such that the phrase would mean, "somewhere, at least once, a man is fated to meet..."

Or have I missed something?

Thanks in advance.

Russell Valentino
