COUNT ToLsToY's VISION

COUNT ToLsToY'S VISION
Before good old Count Leo Tol
stoy died IN 1910 he had a VISION
in which he saw all Europe IN flames
and bleeding aud heard the lamen.
tations Of huge battlesblps. This
vision is now being enacted IN real
life IN Europe, and as told to his
niece and published IN February,
1918, Is as follows:
"This is n revelation Of events Of
a universal character, which must
shortly come to pass. Their spiri-
tual outlines are before my eyes. |
see tloating upon tie surface OF the
sea OF human fate the huge silhou-
ette of a nude woman. She is
with her beauty, her poise, her
smile, her jewels-a super.Venus.
Nations rush madly after her, each
OF them eager to attract her es
peclally. But she, like an eternal
courtesan, flirls with all. In her
hair ornament Of diamonds aud ru-
0ies Is engraved her name: Soon
merciahsm" AS alluring and be-
witching as she seems, much de.
struction and agony follows in her
wake. Her breath, reeking of sor-
did transactions. her voice Of me.
tallIc character like gold, and her
look of greed are SO much poison to
the nations who tall victims to her
charms.
"And behold, she has three gi-
gantic arms with three torches Of
universal corruption in her hand.
The first torch represents the flame
Of war, that the beautiful courtesan
carries from city to city aud coun.
try to country. Patriotism answers
with flashes of honest flame, but
the end is a roar of guns and mus.
kerry.
"The second torcn bears the
flame of bigotry and hypocrisy. 1t
lights the lamps only in temples and
on the altars of sacred institutions.
1t carries the seed of fslsity and
fauaticism. 1t kiudles the minds
that are still IN cradles aud follows
them to their graves.
"The third is that Of the law,
that dangerous foundation of all
unauthentIc traditions, which first
does its fatal work IN the family,
then sweeps through the larger
worlds Of literature, art and states
mauship."
