In art the most important thing is a sense of measure, which Gorky completely lacks. It's amazing how these glories appear by chance and stay firmly in place, like the old ones, for example Nekrasov, who was never a poet.
"Romanian
"În artă cel mai important lucru este simțul măsurii, care lui Gorki îi lipsește cu desăvârșire. E uimitor cum aceste glorii apar întâmplător și se mențin ferm pe pozitie, ca și cele vechi, de exemplu Nekrasov, care nici vorbă să fi fost poet."
