Yevgeny Zamyatin — We [337]

And now I—the real I—saw in the mirror the twisted, jumping line of eyebrows, and the real I heard a wild, revolting shout: “What ‘too’? What do you mean, ‘too’? No, I demand an answer!” — Yevgeny Zamyatin, We, 337

Note

The violent fracture of identity captured in a physical reflex, as the rational self catches sight of the animal stranger in the glass.
