Subject
Vlyublyonnost' (being in love)
Date
Body
In his review of Bely's Zapiski chudaka (An Eccentric's Notes) Osip Mandelshtam speaks of their author's "literary narcissism" (literaturnaya samovlyublyonnost')": Танцующая проза «Записок чудака» — высшая школа литературной самовлюблённости.

Napominayu (I remind you) that Vlyublyonnost' is Vadim's poem he translates for his English wife Iris Black who is murdered by a jealous admirer. Harlequin Jaloux (mentioned by Bely in his poem To my Double) means a "jealous harlequin."
