"Here is something I found in that black copy-book:"
(Now fourth hand!)
'The soul should be more nearly all elastic;
'That is, more supple, aye, more like a tool;
'One must indulge in spiritual gymnastic;
'That is, to put it simply, play the fool.'
(From: Fragments from my Diary. (Trans. Budberg) Penguin. 1986.)
Maria Budberg (Soviet spy)
