Suddenly, the space around him comes to life: the curtains whisper nonsense, the cabinets slam shut, and the floorboards creak slyly. It seems as though Chichikov has stepped inside his famous little box, and the dead souls—neatly copied by him—have found their voice, risen up, and begun a devilish dance around their captor.

Who would have benefited if all these great artists had been healthy? Illness caused them a great deal of suffering, but, when expressed through their creativity, it still brought about such stunning results. So, here it is entirely appropriate to ask: is it necessary to cure them? - Valeriy Fokin.
