"Why is the South so charming"

Abelardo 2022-03-23 09:02:57

People from all over, journalists, his wife, his relatives, friends he identifies with, people waiting for his will and persuading him to amend it, hope Leave all his to the great Russian Tolstoyists...stay there and wait for his death. That morning, at ten past six, he died as he wished. Those who stayed and those who came wept together.
He is Leo Tolstoy, an old man who has been married for forty-eight years, and finally has a great soul left.
Before that, he had been here for a long time.

——To the last Tolstoy

[Marriage-the "Love"]
There is only a relationship between a man and a woman, a relationship between
a hen and a rooster,
they share each other
when they are young, and they hate each other when they grow old,
but they will still be Together

【Marriage-The "Life"】
But they'll still be separated.
Know each other so that they're useless . Run
away many times before dawn and dawn
. People who are not innocent are eyeing
them. You don't really hate

each other
.
I've coveted you
as you've coveted my sunny breasts
I hope the bells in the forest and the flashes downstairs will forget us
"You're just a countess"

[Saint Tolstoy]
In the first little story
he One of the lovers became the farmer's wife.
In another little story,
he distributed sunflowers to the children on the grass.
He was willing to give everything like Jesus.

【Waiting for inheritance】
So
Hungry people become the flock of your manor,
old Count, you are a hundred years old
, gray-haired, and a rich herdsman
. How hungry are the people, they waited too long

[Leaving]
"Let me be Anna Karenina"
like you The goose feather on the pen is lying on the track,
you have the right to end your life,
no matter which night the frog sounds like a curtain,
"only your wife will not come to see you off"

[Last Station]
You can't leave the destination
but invite you in the middle Your daughter is with you
"Yes we will continue on the road"
"Why does the Virgin of Tula bow her head and say nothing"
"Why is the South so enchanting"
