In poor verse, and especially in the story, "The Castle of Cards," Kouzmine has exalted the sin of Sodom as being the most supreme form of æsthetic emotions. Closely related to these writers, although surpassing them all in original talent, Feodor Sologoub is the most intellectual and subtle of the Russian modernists. His principal work consists in depicting the small provincial towns.
"By what right do you ask for it? Are you police?" "No; but we are inhabitants of the village." "And can you enter houses, and ask for passports! Who can say whether you do not mean to rob me of my papers? But my answer is ready. I am Lavrenti Kouzmine, going to Bohotole; and it is not the first time I have passed through the country."
These stories are sadly spoiled by a crude philosophy and by "anarchistic" protestations against present values. Certain authors wander into far-away countries for their subjects: to Sodom and Lesbos. The best known is Michael Kouzmine.
