It's infinitely worse when the crinoline comes off.
And I thought at one point I had no way out except self-slaughter.
And I walked.
I waded way steep into the icy Moscow River and stood there a while, hoping to contract some malady from the freezing water and be carried off this troublesome plane.
Till death us two part, you see.
It's easier than filing for divorce.
It has.
There was one woman who I absolutely adored, though.
I haven't talked about her yet, if I may.
Her name was Madame Nadezhda Filarethovna von Meck, who was a wealthy widow, the widow of a railway magnate who had a vast fortune.
And she was a great lover of music.
And she had asked me to write her a little piece of music, which I did.
And then she wrote me a letter of thanks.
And our correspondence blew up into an enormous kind of manifesto of art and life and everything.
Our letters, perhaps one of the most extraordinary conversations about life, art, ambition, music that exists in the world of Berletsch.
But we decided that we would never meet.
She became my greatest friend, my greatest confidant.
She supported me with a stipend of 6,000 rubles.
She helped me with my separation expenses.
And we should never meet because our love was metaphysical.
