لنین در رشت الفارسية 1446

“But no, the world is not small. Not small at all. Here, at the end of Midvale Close, sitting on the porch of a house that bears no resemblance to the spring and summer veranda of our home in Rasht, we are very far away. Far enough to convince me that the world is not small at all. Absolutely certain of it.

The problem lies precisely in that certainty.

Yet had I really come all this way only to sit at the end of a cul-de-sac, laughing loudly, eating and drinking ourselves into discomfort? If not here, then where else would we have gone? Somewhere, in every corner of the world, there is always someone's home at the end of a dead-end street. Only the names are different.

There, it is Martyr Ghasemi Alley. Here, it is Midvale Close. In Spain, Zambia, Singapore, the Maldives, or Australia, it simply carries another name.”
