I&amp;#039;m in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Clarens]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in the Villa Richelieu, in the very room where you stayed with [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]]! It&amp;#039;s as if I can see both of you at every moment. Now this makes me sad. Then it was spring, and you were with me! Now it&amp;#039;s a harsh winter, there&amp;#039;s a mass of snow on the streets and people are riding sleighs, and you&amp;#039;re not here! It&amp;#039;s all the same: the villa&amp;#039;s distinctive smell in the corridor, and Marie, and the dinner just as delicious as before — everything is as it was, except you&amp;#039;re not here! This time we have the whole villa completely to ourselves. Madame Brandt, who lived below, has died; the sickly man who lived below has also died, and their spirits haunt the empty rooms. And where are dear Baroness Fecth and he sister? If they appeared today at the table d&amp;#039;hôte, then I think I would cry out with joy. On the other hand, I cannot help but be glad that I came here, because I know it will be so conducive for working. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Oh memories — how they are filled with such sweetness, yet at the same time such bitterness!&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Speaking of poetry. Now matter how proud I am of &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Lilies of the Valley]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, I still don&amp;#039;t consider it suitable for publication, and I therefore decline your offer to print them. Moreover, you are mistaken, [[Modya]], in believing that both the &amp;quot;European Herald&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Russian Herald&amp;quot; are ready to squabble for the honour of publishing my nonsense. The gradations in the field of art are infinite. I may consider my poem to be &amp;#039;&amp;#039;excellent&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, i.e. for someone who isn&amp;#039;t a specialist. But is it anything in comparison with, for example, [[Apukhtin]]&amp;#039;s poems? No. You may spread my poetic glories, trumpet and thunder them — but do not gild the lily.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Не могу удержаться, чтобы не написать тебе сегодня не в очередь. Я в &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Clarens&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, в вилле Ришелье, в той самой комнате, где ты жил с Колей! Каждую минуту я так и вижу вас обоих! От этого мне сейчас грустно. Тогда была весна и вы были со мной! Теперь суровая зима, на улицах масса снегу и ездят на санях, и вас нет! Все есть: и специфический запах виллы в коридоре, и Marie, и обед такой же вкусный, как и прежде, — все по-старому, только Вас нет! Во всей вилле мы на этот раз уже окончательно одни. M[ada]me Brandt, жившая внизу, умерла; больной мужчина, живший внизу, тоже умер, и тени их носятся по пустым комнатам. А где милая Baronne Fecth et soeur? Если б они сегодня появились за table d&amp;#039;hôt&amp;#039;ом, я бы, кажется, закричал&lt;br /&gt;
от радости. С другой стороны, я не могу не радоваться, что приехал сюда, ибо знаю, что заниматься будет в высшей степени удобно.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Грустное настроение пройдёт, вероятно, завтра же, и я так же буду завтра наслаждаться тишиной и покоем, как наслаждался ими на Viale &amp;#039;&amp;#039;dei Colli&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! О воспоминания, — сколько в них и сладости, и в то же время горечи!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Однако я, кажется, сейчас заговорю стихами. Кстати о стихах. Как я ни горжусь «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ландышами&amp;#039;&amp;#039;», а всё-таки не нахожу их годными для печати и потому отказываюсь от твоего предложения напечатать их. Да притом ты ошибаешься, Модя, полагая, что и «В[естник] Е[вропы]» и «Р[усский] в[естник]» готовы препираться из-за чести напечатать мой вздор. Градации в художественных явлениях бесконечны. Моё стихотворение &amp;#039;&amp;#039;превосходно&amp;#039;&amp;#039; по отношению ко мне, т. е. к человеку не специалисту. Но что оно в сравнении, напр[имер], с стихами Апухтина? Нет. Распространяй мою стихотворческую славу, труби и греми, — но тиснению не предавай.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Напиши подробно о своей повести. Что делают твои герои и героини? Ради Бога, не падай духом и пиши.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
А я к Коле так и не собрался написать. Поцелуй его от мена в глазки, нос, шейку — повсюду.&lt;br /&gt;
