“When one has praised Turgenev, however, for the beauty of his character and the beautiful truth of his art, one remembers that he, too, was human and therefore less than perfect.

That is why he began to be scorned in a world which rated exuberance higher than beauty or love or pity.” WorldHumansArtCharacterBeautifulRememberArtistPerfectFailingHigherPityChiefsLackingGreat ArtGreat ArtistExuberanceScorned Author:Robert Wilson Lynd
