A lonely sail is flashing white Amdist the blue mist of the sea!… What does it seek in foreign lands? What did it leave behind at home?..

Waves heave, wind whistles, The mast, it bends and creaks… Alas, it seeks not happiness Nor happiness does it escape!

Below, a current azure bright, Above, a golden ray of sun… Rebellious, it seeks out a storm As if in storms it could find peace!

― Mikhail Lermontov, The Sail

Painting: "Stormy sea at night" by Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky

Both Tolstoy and Dostoevsky using the sun as a metafor for Love, but in different ways. In Tolstoy it is the romantic love between lovers, whilst in Dostoevsky it is a spiritual love of God.

......................................................................................................

“He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.”

― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“I can see the sun, but even if I cannot see the sun, I know that it exists. And to know that the sun is there - that is living.”

― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
