"Dead souls" not because she was so frightened Russia and made such a noise inside, so they opened some of her wounds or internal disease, and not because of also to presented a stunning picture of triumphant evil and the suffering of innocence. Not at all. My heroes are not villains; I add just one good hell of any of them, the reader would have reconciled with them all. But the vulgarity of it all together, frightened readers. Scared them that one after the other followed by my heroes, one went the other, that's no consolation phenomena that have no place even to priadochat or to translate the spirit of the poor reader and that the reading of the entire book seem like just went from a stifling cellar into the light. I would probably have forgiven, if I put a picture of monsters; but the vulgarity didn't forgive me. Russian man scared him the insignificance of all his vices and shortcomings. The phenomenon is remarkable! Fear is beautiful! In whom such a strong aversion from negligible, in fact, true, lies all that protivopolojnoe negligible.

Thunder, laughter, songs were heard less and less. The bow was dying, weakening and losing the indistinct sounds in the emptiness of air. Even heard somewhere stomping, something like the murmur of the distant sea, and soon everything became empty and dull.
Isn't it and joy, a beautiful and fickle guest, flies from us, and in vain the lonely sound thinking to Express the fun? In his own echo he hears the sadness and the desert and must heed it. Aren't you a frisky friend stormy and wild youth, one by one, one after another, lost in the light and leave, finally, one old brother with them? Boring left! And hard and sad is the heart, and nothing to help him.
