Approval such as hls
could vanlsh overnlght.
1:43:06
I told hlm so.
1:43:07
Of course, I can't approve this evening
something you may do tomorrow.
1:43:11
He was walklng about wlth a noose
round hls neck and dldn't know.
1:43:15
So I told hlm what I had heard
about hls poems.
1:43:21
Not liked?
1:43:24
Not liked by whom?
1:43:27
Why not liked?
1:43:28
So I told hlm that.
1:43:39
Do you think it's "personal,
petit-bourgeois and self indulgent"?
1:43:44
I lled.
1:43:46
But he belleved me.
1:43:48
And It struck me through to see
that my oplnlon mattered.
1:43:54
The glrl knew what It meant,
what It was golng to mean.
1:43:56
They couldn't survlve
what was comlng In the clty.
1:44:00
I urged them to leave and llve obscurely
somewhere In the country...
1:44:03
...where they could keep themselves allve.
1:44:05

an estate at Varykino, near Yuriatin.
1:44:11
The people know us there.
1:44:13
He dldn't reslst.
1:44:15
I offered to obtaln permlts,
passes, warrants...
1:44:18
...told them what to take
and what to leave behInd.
1:44:25
I had the Impertlnence to ask hlm
for a volume of hls poems.
1:44:30
And so we parted.
1:44:32

1:44:36
But perhaps I dldn't.
