Hunger has prevented souls and made creatures that have no face to a person. They do not live, they are rotting in a misery bosom that we cannot imagine, and the authorities reside around them with a range of awakening guarding, lurking them like crows to see if you have an overburden bread. If you see that kasra, I extracted it from you, and to slap you, above that, on your mouth
Hunger has a devastating impact on both the soul and the body, transforming beings into faceless, decomposing creatures trapped in unimaginable misery. These suffering entities are not truly alive but are instead rotting away, overwhelmed by their dire circumstances. Surrounding them are authorities who vigilantly monitor them, akin to crows watching for opportunities to snatch even a morsel of bread meant to alleviate their suffering.
"If you see that kasra, I extracted it from you, and to slap you, above that, on your mouth" — this quote emphasizes the harsh reality and the cruelty faced by those afflicted with hunger and misery. It highlights the brutality and the lack of compassion surrounding these vulnerable beings, as depicted in Gorky's narrative about human suffering and societal neglect.
