Popis: When it was already too late, I realized that I had not spent enough time in conversation with Bakhtin. That is, we had had all kinds of conversations, but too many were haphazardly free-ranging and too few substantive, substantial. Which was natural, actually: there had never been any aim to have significant conversations. There had been a great deal of ordinary human relations and simple concern about the thinker's body. Toward the end especially, in his Moscow apartment, when Mikhail Mikhailovich had grown weak, he often recalled Ovid among the gypsies: As the coursing river froze And the gales of winter raged, Like downy skin they covered The saintly man so aged.
