It can be said that all graven images can involve spirits, even if no special dedication or use is made.

Artists are of different types and of different forces.

Seems Tolstoy was a fan of Poe.

Dreary, tiresome and mind numbing..
Overly descriptive, full of superfluous metaphors and analogies... Why?
Surely a story should have a very notable feeling of reality as if one was sat listening to the person relying an event.
Who would relay a recent or past even in such a complicated way?
Wayyyy too much seasoning in this broth.
