Excerpt characterizing Mariehamn

On Pierre, there was again that longing, which he was so afraid. He was three days after pronouncing his speech in the bed lay at home on the sofa, without taking anyone and not going anywhere.
At that time, he received a letter from his wife, who begged him about a date, wrote about his sadness on him and about the desire to devote all his life to him.
At the end of the letter, she notified him that the other day would come to St. Petersburg from abroad.
Following the letter to the privacy of Pierre, one of the less than others respected by the brothers of the Masons broke, and bringing a conversation to the marital relationship of Pierre, in the form of a fraternal council, expressed him the idea that his rigor to his wife was unfair, and that Pierre retreats from the first rules of Mason not forgiving.
At the same time, his mother-in-law, the wife of Prince Vasilla, sent him, begging him at least a few minutes to visit her for negotiations on a very important case. Pierre saw that he was a conspiracy against him that he wanted to connect him with his wife, and it was not even unpleasant to him in that condition in which he was. He was still: Pierre nothing in life considered a great importance, and under the influence of the longing, which now worked on them, he did not value his freedom, nor his persistence in the punishment of his wife.
"No one is right, no one is to blame, it became and she is not to blame," he thought. - If Pierre did not immediately express the consent to the connection with his wife, then only because in a state of longing, in which he was located, he was not able to undertake anything. If the wife would come to him, he would now not drive her. Isn't it all the same in comparison with what Pierre occupied, live or not live with his wife?
Without answering anything to his wife, nor the mother-in-law, Pierre once late in the evening gathered on the road and went to Moscow to see Joseph Alekseevich. This is what Pierre wrote in his diary.
"Moscow, November 17th.
Now only came from benefactor, and I have a hurry to write down everything that I experienced. Joseph Alekseevich lives poorly and suffers the third year to painfully the bubble disease. No one ever heard from him the moan, or the words of Ropot. In the morning and until late at night, with the exception of the clock, in which he eats the simplest food, he works on science. He accepted me graciously and put on the bed on which he lay; I made him the sign of the Knights of the East and Jerusalem, he answered me the same, and with a meek smile asked me that I learned and acquired in Prussian and Scottish lips. I told him everything as I knew how to convey those foundations that I offered in our Petersburg bed and reported a bad reception made by me, and about the gap, which happened between me and brothers. Joseph Alekseevich, pretty pausing and thinking, to all this outlined me, who instantly highlighted me all the past and the whole future path, preparing for me. He surprised me, asking if I remember, I remember what the Trojak goal of the Order is: 1) in the storage and knowledge of the sacrament; 2) in purification and correction of oneself to perception of it and 3) in the correction of human race through the desire for such cleansing. What is the main and first goal of these three? Of course your own correction and cleansing. Only to this goal we can always strive regardless of all the circumstances. But at the same time, this goal also requires us the most difficulties, and therefore, I am mistaken by pride, we, I miss this goal, we do either for the sacrament, which is unworthy to perceive on the impurity of your own, or we do for the correction of the human race, when they are An example of abrasion and debauchery. The illuminatism is not a pure teaching precisely because it was fond of public activities and pride is filled. On this basis, Joseph Alekseevich condemned my speech and all my activities. I agreed with him in the depths of my soul. On the occasion of our family talk about my family matters, he told me: - The main responsibility of a true massion, as I told you, is to improve yourself. But often we think that by removing all the difficulties of our life, we will rather reach this purpose; On the contrary, my sovereign, he told me, only in the medium of secular unrest we can achieve three main goals: 1) self-knowledge, because a person can learn himself only through a comparison, 2) improvement, only it is achieved by the struggle, and 3) to achieve the main virtue - Love to death. Only the vicissitudes of life can show us to vshane and can assist - our innate love for death or revival to a new life. These words are all the more remarkable that Joseph Alekseevich, despite his grievous physical suffering, never burns life, but he loves death to which he, despite all the purity and height of his inner man, does not feel even ready. Then the benefactor explained to me quite the importance of the great square of the universe and indicated that the three-way and seventh number of the essence of the foundation of everything. He advised me not to remove from communicating with St. Petersburg brothers and, taking out only the post of 2nd degrees, try, distracting the brothers from the hobbies of pride, to turn them to the true path of self-knowledge and improvement. In addition, for myself I personally advised me to follow the most likely to follow myself, and with this goal gave me a notebook, the one in which I write and will insert all my actions in the future. "
"Petersburg, November 23rd.
"I live with my wife again. My mother-in-law in tears came to me and said that helen is here and that she begging me to listen to her that she is innocent that she is unhappy with my leaving, and much more. I knew that if I would only let himself see her, then I would no longer refuse her in her desire. In doubt, I did not know, to resort to whose help and advice. If the benefactor would be here, he would tell me. I retired to myself, writing the letters of Joseph Alekseevich, remembered his conversations with him, and out of everything I brought what I should not refuse to ask for a helping to help anyone, especially a person so connected with me, and should carry his cross. But if I for a virtue forgiven her, then let me and there will be my connection with it to have one spiritual goal. So I decided and so wrote Joseph Alekseevich. I told my wife that I ask her to forget everything old, please forgive me what I could be to blame for her, and what I had nothing to forgive. I was happily to tell her it. Let her not know how hard I was to see her again. Settled in a big house in the upper rest and feel a happy feeling of update. "

As always, and then the highest society, connecting together at the court and on large balas, was divided into several circles, having each shade. Among their most extensive was the Circle of the French, Napoleonic Union - Count Rumyantsev and Caulaincourt "a. In this mug, one of the most prominent places was taken by Elene, as soon as she settled in St. Petersburg with her husband. She had the Lord of the French Embassy and a large number of people famous for their intelligence and courtesy belonging to this area.
Helen was in Erfurt during the famous date of the emperors, and from there brought these ties with all Napoleon sights of Europe. In Erfurt, she had a brilliant success. Napoleon himself, noticing her in the theater, said about her: "C" EST UN SUPERBE ANIMAL ". [This is a beautiful animal.] The success of it as a beautiful and elegant woman did not surprise Pierre, because over the years she became even more beautiful than before . But he surprised him that for these two years, his wife managed to acquire a reputation
"D" UNE FEMME CHARMANTE, AUSSI SPIRITUELLE, QUE BELLE ". [Adorable woman, as smart as beautiful.] Famous RRINCE DE LIGNE [Prince de Lin] wrote her letters on eight pages. Bilibin stood his MOTS [Spells], In order to say them for the first time, the Bezuhovaya was taken in the Salon. Became in the Sadness Dummy was considered a diploma of the mind; young people read books in front of Helen, so that there was something to talk about in her salon, and the secretaries of the embassy, \u200b\u200band even envoys, they tried her diplomatic secrets. So Elene was power in some way. Pierre, who knew that she was very stupid, with a strange feeling of a loss and fear sometimes attended her evenings and dinners, where he was talking about politics, poetry and philosophy. At these evenings, he experienced a feeling like this to the one that the magician should experience, expecting whether it will open it. But because it was nonsense to keep such a salon, or because the deceived deceived was pleasant in this deception, deception did not open, and the reputation D "UNE FEMME CHARMANTE ET SPIRITUELLE so unshakably approved for Elena Vasilyevnye Bezuhova, that she could say the biggest vulgarity and nonsense, and all the same, everyone admired her every word and found a deep meaning in it whom she herself did not suspect.
