Translate the following into Russian:
“The artist, painter, poet or musician by his decoration, sublime or beautiful, satisfies the aesthetic sense: but it is akin to the sexual instinct and shares its barbarity: he lays before you also the greater gift of himself” p.21 (4)
“The most insignificant of Strickland’s works suggests a personality which is strange, tormented, and complex; and it is this surely which prevents even those who do not like his pictures from being indifferent to them; it is this which excited so curious an interest in his life and character”. p.22 (5)
“His industry has been amazing. Nothing has been too small to escape him, and you may be sure that if Charles Strickland left a laundry bill unpaid it will be given you in extenso, and if he forbore to return a borrowed half-crown no detail of the transaction will be omitted”. p.26 (10)
