The great man moved into a small town less that ten miles from where ABS was living at the time and none of us - not one - ever told an inquisitive flatlander where he lived.
ABS would not even bring the beautiful strawberry blonde to rubber neck at his place. ABS knew the rare quality of this great man and he knew he did not want to be disturbed and yet ABS did indeed feel pride he chose to live amongst us and leaving alone a man who wanted to be left alone was a virtue bred into the bones of any man blessed to have been born in the Piemonte region of Vermont.
And that was one big factor in his decision to grace our state with his presence.

The state was once a beautiful and safe place to live because, as Vermonters, a substantial portion of its population shared a common race, culture, language, and, at least publicly, all defended and promoted Christian morality.
Any time that ABS was away from the state and returned, he could feel a palpable sense of safety and surety when he returned to those gorgeous mountains and solid people and he felt as though the mountains we're alive and holding him in their hands and protecting him from a world rapidly growing mad and he knew those solid people would welcome him back home.
And then the flatlanders moved into Vermont and away from the hell holes they had created in their cities and they brought with them their social pathologies and infected the naive natives with their mendacious, mephitic, and malevolent liberalism, accomplishing politically, philosophically, spiritually, and morally, in the residents of those small towns, what Typhoid Mary physically accomplished in strangers as she traveled about.
And all it took, essentially, was seizing control of the media and the academy in Vermont and using them to infect the taciturn and conservative folks with the vices of the left and any good Christian man who opposed them was subjected to Dynamic Silence and had their reputations assassinated.

Vermont remains one of the most beautiful dead places still in existence and it pains one to understand that Solzhenitsyn would not be welcome there any more.
