What Shall I Do? No. 3

A wood engraving. A man sits at a desk with his face in his hands. A woman sits above him, reading. A lit candle is upon the desk, and a bed and window are in the background.

Oh, God, what am I to do?

Fuller context: this quote is from Raskolnikov, who has just committed murder but not yet escaped.
