I remember her screams.
It's hard to say.
Perhaps my mind clouds over about why this happened and how I died.
But there is another story which comes into my mind, that a court of honor was convened by some of my old compatriots from the School of Jurisprudence, who had said to me,
Your amours are becoming public and you are so famous you are disgracing the country.
You must do the honourable thing and remove yourself.
And I have a memory of going home and making the decision and a strange metaphor blew up in my mind.
Boil the water.
Always boil the water.
The disease lives in the water.
The water is life, and life must be purged of all corruption.
And I am the disease.
I am the corruption in the water.
I must be boiled away so I do not infect the whole reservoir.
I was treated as a hero of the Russian conscience, the greatest artist after Tolstoy, and the true spokesman for Russian music.
I've been greatly, greatly feted.
It is a great irony that that should happen after...
When I have poured forth feelings into music, which would be reviled if people knew what they were.
Because what can love be in a world such as this?
Yes.
