Воспоминания о Белинском
Это был человек среднего роста, на первый взгляд довольно некрасивый и даже нескладный, худощавый, с впалой грудью. Всякого, даже не медика, немедленно поражали в нем все главные признаки чахотки. Притом же, он почти постоянно кашлял. Лицо он имел небольшое, бледно-красноватое, нос неправильный, как бы приплюснутый, рот слегка искривленный, особенно когда раскрывался, маленькие частые зубы; густые белокурые волосы падали клоком на белый, прекрасный, хоть и низкий лоб. Я не видел глаз более прелестных, чем у Белинского. Голубые, с золотистыми искорками в глубине зрачков, эти глаза, в обычное время полузакрытые ресницами, расширялись и сверкали в минуты воодушевления; в минуты веселости взгляд их принимал пленительное выражение приветливой доброты и беспечного счастья. Голос у Белинского был слаб, с хрипотой, но приятен. Смеялся он от души, как ребенок. Он любил расхаживать по комнате, постукивая пальцами красивых и маленьких рук по табакерке с русским табаком...
