7. The passage most emphatically cited by Borisov is from Rev. 21: 24-26. Solzhenitsyn, From under the Rubble, p. 205. “And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it [the City of God] and they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.” The Russian says “narody”; yet Borisov refers constantly to natsiia (Iz-pod glyb [Paris: YMCA Press, 1974], p. 205). The Latin, gens, is not the same as natio; the koine Greek, ethnos, on the other hand, is the same word used today for “nation.”

13. The phrase, in one or another variant form, appears in a number of Blackmur's essays. See especially his review of Ernest Simmons's biography of Tolstoy, where he discusses the constraints that bear on certain Tolstoyan ideas in Tolstoy's discursive prose, but which disappear from the more complex setting of the novels (R. P. Blackmur, “When there is a Tolstoy,” The Nation, January 25, 1947, pp. 103-4.
