Krassin gave me my second sitting at 5 p.m., and stayed till 7.30. I
heard all the latest news. He’s a delightful man, never have I done a
head that I admired more. He seems to be strong morally, to a degree of
adamant. He is calm, sincere, dignified, proud, without
self-consciousness and without vanity, and scientific in his analysis of
things and people. Eyes that are unflinching and bewilderingly direct,
nostrils that dilate with sensitiveness, a mouth that looks hard until
it smiles, and a chin full of determination.
