Count Leo Tolstoi to Valeria Arsenev, his fiance.
November 2, 1856
|
I already love in you your beauty, but I am only beginning to love in you that which is eternal and ever precious - your heart, your soul.
Beauty one could get to know and fall in love with in one hour and cease to love it as speedily; but the soul one must learn to know.
Believe me, nothing on earth is given without labour, even love, the most beautiful and natural of feelings.

Do write to me, for the love of God, every day.
Though, if you feel no need, don't write; or no,
when you have no desire to write, write only the following
phrase: to-day, such and such a date, I don't feel like writing,
and send it to me.
I shall be glad. For the love of God, do not make up your letters,
do not read them over- you see- I, who could show off before you, and do you
really think that I should not like to pose to you?- I want to display to you
only my honesty and sincerity; all the more ought you to do it- I know many women
cleverer than you, but an honester woman I have not met. Besides, too great a mind
is disagreeable, but the more honesty there is, the more complete it is, the more one
loves it. You see, I so intensely wish to love you that I teach you how to make you
love me. And indeed, my prime feeling for you is not yet love, but a passionate desire
to love you with all my heart. Do write to me for God's sake as quickly, at as great
length, as incoherently and clumsily as you can, and therefore sincerely.

Tolstoy, the great writer, entreating Valeria Arsenev to write to him in free association,
freely and honestly -- that he should know the real woman, who he already considered to be the
most honest he had ever met. Perhaps that is how he wrote -- free association, uncensored, to
achieve his own greatest writings.
