What??? Say it isn't so. I never knew this about Dostoevsky. Please
elaborate if possible or refer me to a reliable biography so that I can
aquire more information. I'm not sure that I can bring myself to read
Dostoevsky again if true.  Of course many artists have such demons
raging beneath the surface--

That is why I shall treasure today the image of Blake and his wife,
reading poetry --in the buff--in a tree--delightful!!
