Leo Tolstoy. Anna Karenina (№ 306831)

You cannot forbid a person to do yourself a big doll of wax, and kiss her. But if this man with the doll came and sat down before the lover and began to caress his doll as the lover caressed the one he loves, the lover would be unpleasant. The same bad feeling Mikhailov at the sight of Vronsky's painting; he was funny, and annoying, and pathetic, and offensive.
