The Diaries of Sofia Tolstoy
At the same time, though, she is kept constantly pregnant , eventually bearing 13 children . Always , she yearns for something more .” I sometimes search my heart and ask myself what I really want. And to my honor , the answer is that I want gaiety , smart clothes and chatter . I want people to admire me and say how pretty I am , and I want him to see and hear them too. I long for him occasionally to emerge from his rapt inner existence that demands so much of him~~I hate people to tell me I am beautiful . I never believed them , and now it would be too late anyway-what would be the point?”
She is , note , only in her late 20s . But already she is pathetically grateful for the least sign oftenderness ;” He actually kissed me for the first time in days
