One cannot help wondering << whether >> Molotov and the rest of the `` anti-party group '' are not being used as China's whipping-boys by Khrushchev and his faithful followers . The big question is << whether >> , in the name of a restored Chinese-Soviet solidarity , the Chinese will choose to persuade the Albanians to present their humble apologies to Khrushchev -- or get rid of Enver Hoxa .

As Simmel ( 1908 ) and Dilthey ( 1922 ) indicated , questions of << whether >> the value of life is individual or social are not questions , but assertions of faith made to appear as legitimate questions . If anyone asked us , after we made the remark that the suffering was a bad thing , << whether >> we should think it relevant to what we said to learn that the incident had never occurred and no pain had been suffered at all , we should say that it made all the difference in the world , that what we were asserting to be bad was precisely the suffering we thought had occurred back there , that if this had not occurred , there was nothing left to be bad , and that our assertion was in that case mistaken .

Only a radical change in the nature of the population in the central city would be likely to destroy this preference -- and we must now turn our attention to the question of << whether >> such a change , gloomily foreseen by so many urban diagnosticians , is actually upon us . The details of the setting of `` Neutral Tones '' are not , strictly speaking , metaphorical , but they combine to create a mood which is appropriate both to a dismal winter day and to the end of love , and in this way love and << weather >> , the emotions and the elements , symbolize each other in a way that is common to many of Hardy's best poems ( `` Weathers '' , `` The Darkling Thrush '' , and `` During Wind and Rain '' , for example ) and to some moving passages in the novels as well ( Far From The Madding Crowd is full of scenes constructed in this way ) .
