Text

Diary of Leo Tolstoy (Oct.-Nov.)
"Reading Chinese classics. Very important."
"Feeling fine. Writing nothing, but studying Confucius, and everything's fine. Derive spiritual strength." "Studying Confucius and all the rest is insignificant. Seems good. What is most important is that this teaching, which tells one to be particularly watchful over oneself, when alonge, has a powerful and beneficial effect on me. If only I could keep I in its freshness."
