Whereas William Blake said that gratitude was heaven itself.
I enjoy reading about Stalin. I have been reading "In the Court of the Red Tsar" for years. Just before sleep. Lots of stuff to reflect on.
>Montefiore gives an unprecedented understanding of Stalins dictatorship, and a Stalin as human and complicated as he is brutal.
Montefiore is not frightened to present Stalin's (how do you put this?) positive/attractive qualities (I must stop this). Well, you have to put it some way. Lots of people were very impressed.
I must have been thinking about In the Court of the Crimson King. It's not called in the court of the red tzar at all.
