Actually proud at times of his curious, well-reasoned nihilism, he could but regard what is called the business of life as no better than a trifling and wearisome delay.
No writer has studied so faithfully and profoundly the Russian peasant and better understood the moral needs of the time and the great questions which agitate it. Within the last twenty years the new theory of Nihilism has begun to find expression in literature, particularly in fiction.
This piety was always a <I>madonnina</I>, the protectress of the passage a quaint figure of the Virgin with the red spark of a lamp at her feet. The lamps appear for the most part to have gone out, and the images doubtless have been sold for <I>bric-a- brac</I>. The ferrymen, for aught I know, are converted to Nihilism a faith consistent happily with a good stroke of business.
But this time he stinketh and I'm sorry for any Christus who brings him to life again, to stink livingly for another thirty years: the beastly Lazarus of our idealism." "That may be true for you " "But it's true for nobody else," said Lilly. "All the worse for them. Let them die of the bee-disease." "Not only that," persisted Levison, "but what is your alternative? Is it merely nihilism?"
But you must understand one thing: This night forever ends your connection with nihilism. That is the sacrifice you must make to save your sister. Will you make it?" "If it will save her, I will make it. But will it?" "If I find you here when I return, and if you are still in the same mood, I will take you to her, and she shall reply to that question for herself."
On the other hand, we have seen that the idealism which represents being or existence as consisting of perception is utterly incompatible with materialism of any sort or kind, unless, indeed, with a materialistic nihilism wherein would be no room for a solitary molecule, still less for any molecular structure, and least of all for that motion of molecular structures into which consistent materialists are logically bound to attempt to resolve all natural phenomena.
The crime was ascribed to Nihilism, and the murderers were never arrested. Inspector Baynes visited us at Baker Street with a printed description of the dark face of the secretary, and of the masterful features, the magnetic black eyes, and the tufted brows of his master. We could not doubt that justice, if belated, had come at last.
Jon listened, bewildered, almost outraged by his father's words, behind which he felt a meaning that he could not reach. He didn't want to stamp on anything! "Nothing's the god of to-day," continued Jolyon; "we're back where the Russians were sixty years ago, when they started Nihilism." "No, Dad," cried Jon suddenly, "we only want to live, and we don't know how, because of the Past that's all!"
The best translations are those of Mrs. Garnett. The following are recommended to those who are beginning the study of Russian literature and who are desirous of reading novels which throw light on the springs of Russian life and thought: TOURGENIEV. Fathers and Children. Heinemann. 2s. net. A study of Russian Nihilism in the 'eighties, which may be read and compared with Kropotkin's Memoirs.
In the younger section of the educated classes, and especially among the students of the universities and technical colleges, it produced a feverish intellectual excitement and wild aspirations which culminated in what is commonly known as Nihilism.
