11. The Monologue about Knowledge
Yury Trifonov was finishing the story "Time and Place": "In the fall of 1979 my daughter Katya did not pass the second year in a row exams for admission to the university. She got sick with a severe nervous disease. And she was put in the first city hospital, in the psychosomatic department." "When last year Katya has failed exams, it was clear: Vasenka, her son, takes away many forces. But now have found the nanny, the child lived in the summer in Desna, Katya exhausted herself with memorization and vigils. I haven't seen people, weakened himself to such an extent. I couldn't help, the mathematics wasn't necessary to her, and in other objects I have lagged behind. But, seeing as she is engaged, I was for some reason sure: such infernal efforts can't go to waste! And here she has made a call me to institute and by a false, cheerful voice has told I shouldn't worry, - she hasn't gained half a point, has again failed. - And let them all go further on. I felt cold in fear and shouted: "What are you going to do now?" - "I'll go to cinema!""
He wrote and reflected on abstract subjects: "Millions of people - tens, hundreds of millions of people? - possess diplomas of institutes ... And how many people can tell that they are children, descendants of outstanding writers? A few people? Tens?.."
"She was silent, after that has told: "There were girls who haven't gained half a point too, and they have told that everything was pre-determined. And nothing can be made. It is the truth?" - "I don't know - I have answered. - It may be so". - "Then why to live? If everything is defined?""
"Being the daughter of an outstanding writer - it's an unnoticeable place in life?" - he continued to think of something.
Memory made the tooltip: "Whether the writer knows that such human heart?"
"You don't suit for our galaxy."
"...something the stired up, warm, old, expensive, that disappeared without a trace..."

12. The Fairy Tale, devoted March 8, about Lermontov
After departure from the small town of Taman my soul became the restless. My thoughts continuously came back to the my water nymph, to my undine.
Труды, заботы ночь и днем,
Все, размышлению мешая,
Приводит в первобытный вид
Больную душу: сердце спит,
Простора нет воображенью...
И нет работы голове...
Зато лежишь в густой траве
И дремлешь под широкой тенью
Чинар иль виноградных лоз...
(The works, the cares in the solar days and hours of the nights,
Everything, hampering the thoughts,
Leads to primitive kind of
The sick soul: the heart is asleep,
There is no scope for imagination...
And no the head work...
