"Life, life itself is opening up for me," he exclaimed ecstatically, "life is in your eyes, your smile, the sprig of lilac, in 'Casta Diva', it's all here!"
I love how Goncharov portrays the relationship between Olga’s aunt and Baron von Langwagen. I picture them as a couple who have known each other for a long time, who did not marry for some unknown reason, but they are still each other’s “person.” Perhaps there was passion once, but now they know each other so well, and are so content in each other’s company, that there is no need for talk. Even if others are present there is still an unspoken conversation going on only between them. I love this!

I agree!
