In another letter there is a postscript: "When you are next in Oryol, buy me six-hundred weight of various ropes, reins, and traces," and on the same page: "'Tender art thou, and the whole thing is charming. You have never done anything better; it is all charming." The quotation is from Fet's poem: The lingering clouds' last throng flies over us.
It was only during the last years of Fet's life, when my father was entirely absorbed in his new ideas, which were so at variance with Afanasyi Afanasyevitch's whole philosophy of life, that they became estranged and met more rarely. It was at Fet's, at Stepanovka, that my father and Turgenieff quarreled.
Soon after this my father came to know Fet intimately, and they struck up a firm and lasting friendship, and established a correspondence which lasted almost till Fet's death.
These two lines of Fet's remind me of others, also his.... Do you remember once, as we stood in the highroad, we saw in the distance a cloud of pink dust, blown up by the light breeze against the setting sun? 'In an eddying cloud, you began, and we were all still at once to listen: 'In an eddying cloud Dust rises in the distance ... Rider or man on foot Is seen not in the dust.
