| Quotation | Pasternak's Georgian letters are good. Real love for his friends, and contagious enthusiasm about Tiflis, etc. There is a great newness and freshness about P."”his own bright and living world. A paradise man, full of wonder, and even the Stalinists neverstamped it all out of him. Never silenced him really. |
