hor whose personality I dislike.

In 1865, before the final breach with Turgenieff, he wrote, again to
Fet: "I do not like 'Enough'!" A personal subjective treatment is never
good unless it is full of life and passion; but the subjectivity in this
case is full of lifeless suffering.

In the autumn of 1883, after Turgenieff's death, when the family had
gone into Moscow for the winter, my father stayed at Yasnaya Polyana
alone, with Agafya Mikhailovna, and set earnestly about reading through
all Turgenieff's works.

This is what he wrote to my mother at the time:

I am always thinking about Turgenieff. I am intensely fond of him, and
sorry for him, and do nothing but read him. I live entirely with him.
I shall certainly give a lecture on him, or write it to be read; tell
Yuryef.

"Enough"--read it; it is perfectly charming.

Unfortunately, my father's intended lecture on Turgenieff never came
off. The Government forbade him to pay this last tribute to his dead
friend, with whom he had quarreled all his life only because he could
not be indifferent to him.

REMINISCENCES OF TOLSTOY (Part III.)

BY HIS SON, COUNT ILYA TOLSTOY

TRANSLATED BY GEORGE CALDERON

AT this point I shall turn back and try to trace the influence which
my father had on my upbringing, and I shall recall as well as I can the
impressions that he left on my mind in my childhood, and later in the
melancholy days of my early manhood, which happened to coincide with the
radical change in his whole philosophy of life.

In 1852, tired of life in the Caucasus and remembering his old home at
Yasnaya Polyana, he wrote to his aunt, Tatyana Alexandrovna:

After some years, I shall find myself, neither very young nor very old,
back at Yasnaya Polyana again: my affairs will all be in order; I shall
have no anxieties for the future and no troubles in the present.

You also will be living at Yasnaya. You will be getting a little old,
but you will be healthy and vigorous. We shall lead the life we led in
the old days; I shall work in the mornings, but we shall meet and see
each other almost all day.

We shall dine together in the evening. I shall read you something that
interests you. Then we shall talk: I shall tell you about my life in the
Caucasus; you will give me reminiscences of my father and mother; you
will tell me some of those "terrible stories" to which we used to listen
in the old days with
