Amerikali yazar ve edebiyat elestirmeni Edmund Wilson’in olum yildonumu (12 Haziran 1972)
“1823'te kendini vurmayı denedi; kurtuldu. 1825'e kadar calisti durdu. Kendi de sasirdi bu ise; ‘Kafasina yedi kursun gomulmus dururken, bir insanin hala yasamasini, dusunebilmesini aklin aliyor mu senin?’ diye sorar bir arkadasina. 1825'te olum doseginde, dusunmesinin hiziniı keser diye, kendisini ziyarete gelmis bir akrabasini kapidan cevirttirdi.
Can cekisirken basinda bulunan bir tilmizinin anlattiginina gore, son sozu su olmus: ‘Butun hayatim, ama butun hayatim, su kaygiyla ozetlenebilir: Butun insanlara yeteneklerini, vergilerini gelistirme olanagi saglamak. Kitaplarimizin ikinci baskisi ciktiktan kirk sekiz saat sonra, işsci partisi orgutlenecektir; gelecek bizimdir! . . . " Elini basina goturdu ve oldu.” Lenin - Tarihi Yazanlar ve Yapanlar
“He tried to shoot himself in 1823, but survived and went on writing till 1825, an eventuality which caused him surprise: “Can you explain to me how a man with seven balls of buckshot in his head can go on living and thinking?” When he was dying in 1825, he declined to receive one of his relations for fear of breaking his train of thought.
‘All my life,’ he is reported to have said by one of his disciples who was present at his deathbed, ‘all my life may be summed up in one idea: to guarantee to all men the free evelopment of their faculties. Forty-eight hours after our second publication, the party of the workers will be organized: the future belongs to us! . . .’ He put his hand to his head and dead.”
