Vanya, listen, if I do l-ove Alyosha madly, insanely, yet perhaps I love you even more as m y friend. I feel, I know that I couldn’t go on living without you. I need you. I need your soul, your heart of gold_ _ Oh, Vanya, what a bitter, a terrible time is before us!”

A writer, a poet. It seems strange somehow. When has a poet made his way in the world, risen to high rank? They’re only scribbling fellows after all, an unreliable lot.

Incidentally, I’ve always found mulling over my com- positions and imagining how they are likely to turn out more enjoyable than actually committing them to paper, and not just out of laziness. I wonder why that is!

...he seemed in a great panic about something. For after all, what had he to fear? He’d carried a girl off from her father, and when she was with child he had abandoned her. What was there remarkable in that? A charming, pleasant, bit of mischief, and nothing more. That was nothing for a man like the prince to be afraid of! Yet he was afraid. . . . And that made me suspicious.

(I may add here that he never once suggested that I should go with them, which, from what I know of his character, he certainly would have done . . . under other circumstances . . . that is, if he had not been aware of my love for Natasha.)

When I work under such a strain my nerves get strung up to a peculiar tension; my imagination is clearer, I feel more vividly and deeply, and even my style is entirely under my control, so that work done under pressure always turns out better.

So Natasha, the speaker, is running away from home to be with the Prince, Alyosha, who’s already engage to some rich uptown girl. Natasha’s father works as an overseer for the Prince’s father, but the relationship has become extremely strained because a rumor of embezzlement on the part of Natasha’s father. Vanya has always been in love with Natasha but her parents didn’t approve because he is only a writer. Since it’s Dostoyevsky we can assume it doesn’t bode well for any of them.🙂
