| Notes |
"Vaslav Nijinsky (1890-1950), the 'God of the Dance, ' was on the verge of a mental breakdown when he wrote this diary as an outlet for his views on religion, art, love, and life. It is his message to mankind. The perfect candor and simplicity of the diary give it an almost mystical quality. This unique insight into the inner life of a creative genius permits us to follow the feelings and thoughts of a highly gifted but mentally disturbed artist poised between the two worlds of the rational and the irrational"--Page 4 of cover |
