"Namun, ketika seseorang memuji Turgenev, karena keindahan karakternya dan kebenaran indah dari seninya, ia ingat bahwa ia juga manusia dan karenanya kurang sempurna. Kegagalan utamanya adalah, mungkin, dari semua artis besar, dia adalah yang paling kurang bersemangat. Itulah sebabnya dia mulai dicemooh di dunia yang dinilai kegembiraan lebih tinggi dari kecantikan atau cinta atau kasihan."

--- Robert Wilson Lynd

Versi Bahasa Inggris

When one has praised Turgenev, however, for the beauty of his character and the beautiful truth of his art, one remembers that he, too, was human and therefore less than perfect. His chief failing was, perhaps, that of all the great artists, he was the most lacking in exuberance. That is why he began to be scorned in a world which rated exuberance higher than beauty or love or pity.
