tolstoy on rousseau

I have read the whole of Rousseau, the whole twenty volumes, including the lexicon of music. What I felt for him was more than enthusiasm; it was worship. At fifteen I wore around my neck, instead of the usual cross, a medallion with his picture. I am so familiar with some of the passages of his work that I feel as though I had written them myself.
