Igor Ivanovich Garin. Prophets and poets (№ 429391)

I doomed myself to a beggarly existence, but I did not drop myself in my own eyes. By hierarchical standards, I'm just a bum. I have already taken up medicine three times, tried to study law, music. In life I experience incredible difficulties, but they do not bother me in the least. I am the enemy of human servility and baseness.
