ToIstoy's Intensity.

Everything in Tolstoy's character,
says Russian writer, attains titanic
proportions. "As drinker he absorbed
fantastic quantities Of liquor. AS a
gambler he terrified his partners by
the boldness of his play. AS soldier
he advanced gayly to bastion four, the
bastion Of death at Sevastopol, and
there he made dying men laugh at his
witty sayings. He surpassed every
one by his prodigious activity in sport
as we'll as in literature.'
