Alexey Sklyarenko: I would like to correct several inaccuracies in my previous
posts...Although Maria Botkin (Fet's wife) inherited a little more than her
sisters, she was not too rich. In 1862 (when un tuile fell on his head)
Fet was not yet bald.
JM: No further reference to associate
Fet's "tuile", to Ada's young Eric: "he was sent to
Ex-en-Valais, whose crystal air was supposed at the time to strengthen young
lungs; instead of which its worst hurricane hurled a roof tile at him,
fatally fracturing his skull, Among the boy’s belongings David van Veen
found a number of poems and the draft of an essay entitled’ Villa Venus: an
Organized Dream’," I
suppose?
