A son's a piece cut off

Fathers and Sons.

After three days,  Bazarov leaves.

After three years, three days is not much.

His father is in despair.

His mother says,

"What's to be done, Vasya? A son's a piece cut off. He's like a falcon: he comes and goes whenever he likes; while you and I are like mushrooms growing in the hollow of a log; we sit side by side and never budge. Except that I'll always be here for you, as you will for me."
