«Леди Джон Расселл: Мемуары с подборкой дневников и писем»

Yes! she has passed into a nobler world and to a higher truth--the world of the good and just men and women whose memory survives their mortal career, and whose inspiring influence works for good ever in generations to come. In this Free Church I can speak freely, for I too profoundly believe in a future life of every good and pure soul beyond the grave, in the perpetuity of every just and noble life in the sum of human progress and enlightenment. And in a sense that is quite as real as yours, even if it differ from your sense in form, I also make bold to say, this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality--Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of Humanity, for as much as ye know that your labour is not in vain in Humanity.

Surely we have before us a high example of what it is to be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in good work, in the memory of Frances Elliot Countess Russell, who united in herself principles typified in the historic mottoes of her own house and that of her husband's--who kept her high courage under all adversities and opposition, in the spirit of che sarà sarà, "stand fast come what may"--in the spirit of that other motto of the Elliots, suaviter el fortiter, "with all the gentleness of a woman and all the fortitude of a man."

[ 19] Лорд Сиденхэм позже говорил: «Лорд Джон — самый благородный человек, за которым мне доводилось следовать» (Спенсер Уолпол, «Жизнь лорда Джона Расселла»).

[ 20] Из сонета леди Джон Расселл пера лорда Вриосли Расселла, написанного после прочтения баллады леди Минто, в которой встречаются такие слова: «Его страна и ты».

[ 21] Лорд Рибблсдейл, Аделаида Листер (миссис Драммонд), Изабель Листер (миссис Уорртон), Элизабет Листер (леди Мелвилл).

[ 22] Этот рассказ скопирован из старого дневника в кожаном переплете, куда он был записан лордом Джоном на следующий день после беседы; в повествовании нет пробелов, но последняя часть, судя по всему, написана позже и осталась неоконченной.

[ 23] Лорд Джон построил дом по адресу Чезем-плейс, 37, который отныне стал их лондонским очагом.

[ 24] Тревельян, «Жизнь и письма лорда Маколея».

[ 30] Лорд Джон писал своей жене в апреле 1845 года: «Маколей вчера вечером снова произнес одну из своих великолепных речей... Он удивительный человек и в предстоящие годы должен стать великим лидером».

[ 31] Когда им предложили Пембрук-Лодж, они вспомнили — с удивлением и восторгом от того, что оно сбылось, — загаданное в тот день желание, известное лишь им одним.

[ 32] Приложение в конце главы.

[ 33] «Положение в Ирландии было хаотичным, и лорд Кларендон (лорд-лейтенант) требовал жестких мер принуждения. Он их не получил... Эти два законопроекта [сэра Роберта Пиля в 1846 году и билль 1847 года] настолько отличались друг от друга, что называть их общим именем, хотя, возможно, и неизбежно, но также неизбежно и ввести в заблуждение» («История современной Англии», Герберт Пол, т. I, гл. IV. См. также: Уолпол, «Жизнь лорда Джона Расселла», т. I, гл. XVII).

[ 34] В более поздние годы лорд и леди Джон поддерживали дружеские отношения с герцогом Омальским, сыном Луи Филиппа, а также с графом Парижа и герцогом Шартрским (внуками короля), которые были соседями и желанными гостями в Пембрук-Лодже.

[ 35] Сводный брат лорда Джона.

[ 36] «Письма королевы Виктории», т. II, гл. XIX.

[ 37] Поражение правительства по предложению мистера Лока Кинга об уравнивании избирательных прав в графствах и боро.

[ 38] «Письма королевы Виктории», т. II, гл. XX.

[ 39] Хотя в то время он заявлял, что никогда больше не станет служить под началом лорда Джона, судя по всему, он оказался единственным из коллег лорда Джона, кто согласился работать в его кабинете, когда тот попытался сменить лорда Абердина. Морли, «Жизнь Гладстона», т. I, стр. 531.

[ 40] Стюарт Рид, «Жизнь лорда Джона Расселла», стр. 205.

[ 41] Полковник Ромилли, муж леди Элизабет Ромилли и сын сэра Самуэля Ромилли.

[ 42] Предвыборный агент лорда Джона.

[ 43] Морли, «Жизнь Гладстона», т. I, стр. 521. См. также: Лорд Станмор, «Граф Абердин», гл. X.

[ 44] Подробный отчет об этих событиях читатель может найти в книге сэра Спенсера Уолпола «Жизнь лорда Джона Расселла», гл. XXV.

[ 45] Сводный брат лорда Джона.

[ 50] Детская пьеса, написанная ею самой.

[ 51] Мэри Агата.

[ 52] «Мемуары бывшего министра».

[ 53] Спавента и Браико провели в заключении в Италии около десяти лет.

[ 54] Поскольку дневники леди Джон за 1860 год утеряны, этот эпизод приводится здесь исключительно со слов покойного сэра Джеймса Лакаиты.

[ 55] Бывшая леди Мелганд. Ее муж к тому времени унаследовал от отца титул третьего графа Минто.

[ 56] Ее муж, мистер Ральф Аберкромби, к тому времени стал лордом Данфермлином.

[ 57] Посланник США в Лондоне.

[ 58] «Жизнь лорда Гренвилла» работы лорда Эдмонда Фицмориса.

[ 59] Столь стремительное продвижение по службе случалось в парламентской истории всего раз или два. См. примечание в кн.: Морли, «Жизнь Гладстона», т. II, стр. 156.

[ 60] Сэр Чарльз Вуд ушел в отставку с титулом лорда Галифакса.

[ 61] Спенсер Уолпол, «История двадцати пяти лет».

[ 62] Речь Джона Брайта.

[ 63] Гладстон в своей оправдательной вступительной речи заявлял, будто никто не может рассматривать билль как троянского коня, которого правительство тайком проводит в цитадель Конституции. «Мы не можем сказать:

"'Scandit fatalis machina muros

Foeta armis.'"

(The fated engine climbs our walls, big with arms.)

Мистер Лоу возразил:

"That was not a very apt quotation; but there was a curious felicity about it which he [Mr. Gladstone] little dreamt of. The House remembers that, among other proofs of the degree in which public opinion is enlisted in the cause of Reform, is this--that this is now the fifth Reform Bill which has been brought in since 1851. Now, just attend to the sequel of the passage quoted by the right honourable gentleman:

"'O Divum domus Ilium et inclyta bello

Mcenia Dardanidum! Quater ipso in limine portae

Sustitit, atque utero sonitum quater arma dedere.'

(O Troy, house of gods and Dardanian city famous in war! four times in the very gateway it stood,

and four times the clash of arms sounded in its womb.)

"But that is not all:

"'Instamus tarn en immemores, caecique furore,

Et monstrum infelix sacrata sistimus arce.'

(Yet we, thoughtless and blind with enthusiasm, urged it on, and in our

hallowed citadel stationed the ill-omened monster.)"

[ 64] Морли, «Жизнь Гладстона», т. II, стр. 235.

[ 65] Это письмо должно быть датировано 22 июля 1869 года и адресовано леди Джорджиане Пиль. Оно относится к дебатам по Биллю об ирландской церкви.

[ 66] Впоследствии герцог Бедфордский.

[ 67] Альберт-холл.

[ 68] Церемония венчания проходила в Питершеме, в старинной живописной деревенской церкви, освященной множеством священных воспоминаний.

[ 69] «История двадцати пяти лет», т. II, стр. 287.

[ 70] Мистер Фруд в беседе с ирландским крестьянином о бедах его родины заметил, будто одна из причин для жалоб была устранена упразднением церкви. «О, ради бога, ваша честь, это хуже всего. Это была лучшая наша обида, и вы ее у нас отняли!»

[ 71] Лорд Амберли потерпел поражение на всеобщих выборах.

[ 72] Билль передавал новой упраздненной епископальной церкви все храмы и все пожертвования, сделанные после 1660 года, в то время как оставшиеся фонды подлежали передаче правительству для помощи бедным и страждущим.

[ 73] Публикация «Астарты» покойным лордом Лавлейсом, содержащей документы и письма, касающиеся расставания Байрона с женой, ныне совершенно прояснила, что причины для разрыва были подлинными.

[ 74] Второй том «Жизни и писем сэра Гилберта Эллиота, первого графа Минто».

[ 75] Мистер Одо Расселл (впоследствии лорд Амтхилл) с супругой.

[ 76] Дочь лорда и леди Амберли, родившаяся в феврале 1868 года.

[ 77] Излюбленная строфа леди Расселл из «Чайльд-Гарольда»:

What from this barren being do we reap?

Our senses narrow, and our reason frail,

Life short, and truth a gem which loves the deep,

And all things weighed in custom's falsest scale;

Opinion an omnipotence, whose veil

Mantles the earth with darkness, until right

And wrong are accidents, and men grow pale

Lest their own judgments should become too bright,

And their free thoughts be crimes, and earth have too much light.

BYRON.

[ 78] В феврале мистер Форстер внес на рассмотрение Акт о начальном образовании. Он прошел второе чтение без голосования. В комитете правительство приняло оговорку Каупера — Темпла.

[ 79] Их итальянские слуги.

[ 80] Лорд Актон, «Исторические эссе и исследования».

[ 81] Король Пруссии Вильгельм только что принял титул германского императора.

[ 82] Граф Бернсторф был германским послом в Лондоне.

[ 83] Наполеон III и императрица Евгения проживали в Чизлхерсте.

[ 84] В Палате общин обсуждался Билль об ирландских университетах, один из пунктов которого предлагал исключить теологию, философию и историю из учебной программы нового университета.

[ 85] Леди Луиза Говард, в девичестве леди Луиза Фицморис (дочь лорда Лансдауна), одна из давних подруг леди Расселл.

[ 86] Рэйчел и Бертран, проведшие зиму в Пембрук-Лодже, пока их родители находились за границей.

[ 87] Несколько раз состояние здоровья не позволяло лорду Расселлу принимать приглашения в Виндзор. В апреле 1874 года они с леди Расселл были тронуты добротой королевы, навестившей их в Пембрук-Лодже, где она также повидала детей лорда Амберли.

[ 88] «Одним из лучших друзей королевы и принца-консорта был барон Стокмар. Этот старый вельможа, знавший английский двор со времен Георга III и любивший принца Альберта как сына, отличался твердой независимостью, бесстрашно резал правду-матку в глаза и пользовался нежной преданностью как королевы Виктории, так и ее супруга». — Дейли ньюс, 7 мая 1910 г. Именно так к нему относилась и леди Расселл; его бесстрашная прямота при дворе всегда производила на нее впечатление.

[ 89] Граф и графиня д’Этшегойен (урожденная Талейран) были близкими друзьями лорда и леди Расселл. Он являлся французским республиканцем, вынужденным покинуть Париж после государственного переворота.

[ 90] В 1874 году он писал, что от Адрианополя до Белграда все управление должно находиться в руках христиан.

[ 91] «МОЙ СЛАВНЫЙ ДРУГ! Связывая свое великое имя с благодетелями христиан, угнетаемых турецким правительством, Вы добавили драгоценнейший камень в венец человечности, венчающий Ваше благородное чело. В 1860 году Ваше возвышенное слово прозвучало в защиту итальянских райя, и Италия перестала быть лишь географическим выражением. Ныне Вы заступаетесь за турецких райя, еще более несчастных. Это дело победит, как и первое, и Бог благословит Вашу старость. Целую руку Вашей дорогой жены и остаюсь на веки вечные Вашим преданным Дж. ГАРИБАЛЬДИ».

[ 92] «Жизнь графа Биконсфилда», Дж. А. Фруд, стр. 251.

[ 93] Фрэнк (впоследствии граф Расселл), которому тогда исполнилось десять лет, и трехлетний Бертран.

[ 94] Супруга декана Стэнли.

[ 95] Контемпорэри ревью, декабрь 1889 г.

[ 96] Они назвали усадьбу Данрозел в честь Рузеля в Нормандии, считающегося родовым гнездом Расселлов.

[ 97] Единственной книгой, изданной леди Расселл, было «Семейное богослужение» — небольшой сборник библейских отрывков и молитв для ежедневного чтения. Впервые он вышел в свет в 1876 году.

[ 98] Достопочтенный Ф. У. Робертсон из Брайтона. Проповеди, сер. 1-я.

[ 99] «Жизнь лорда Джона Расселла» пера Стюарта Дж. Рида, стр. 351.

[ 100] Имя, которым ее называли в детстве.

[ 101] В то время — губернатор Мадраса.

[ 102] В апреле 1881 года Гладстон уведомил о внесении Билля о декларации, позволявшего таким людям, как мистер Брэдло, становиться членами парламента без принесения присяги, подразумевавшей веру в Высшее Существо. Однако к рассмотрению билля приступили лишь в 1883 году. 26 апреля Гладстон произнес одну из самых возвышенных и пламенных речей в поддержку законопроекта, который, тем не менее, был отклонен с перевесом в три голоса.

[ 103] Миссис Тиндаль.

[ 104] Дочь преподобного Ф. С. Блайта, много лет бывшего викаритом в Питершеме.

[ 105] Мисс Бюлер (скончавшаяся несколько лет назад) была гувернанткой внука леди Расселл — Бертрана. Она была швейцаркой и прибыла к ним всего девятнадцати лет от роду, и леди Расселл окружала ее материнской заботой и любовью.

[ 106] Артур, сын мистера Ролло Расселла.

[ 107] «Молчание декана Мейтленда» авторства Максвелл Грей.

[ 108] Леди Расселл часто цитировала изречение, приписываемое Фоксу: «Ничто морально порочное не может быть политически правильным».

[ 109] «Одинока — нет, вовсе нет, ибо духи моих любимых кружат надо мной».

[ 110] Мисс Анна Сванвик.

[ 111] Леди Расселл писала своему отцу в 1857 году из Минто: «Я живо представляю себе прелесть этого прекраснейшего и милейшего из мест. Теперь для всех нас есть священная красота в каждом дереве и цветке, в скале, реке и холме, и это должно идти нам на пользу». Позже в письме к своей сестре, леди Элизабет Ромилли, она пишет о «Минто былых дней, о самом счастливом и совершенном доме, какой только выпадал на долю детей».

[ 112] Найнтин тинтури, январь 1890 г.

[ 113] Написано после бракоразводного процесса Парнелла и О’Ши.

[ 114] «Проживая на Норфолк-стрит [в 1882 году], наняла Синклер, мою добрую и верную Синклер, горничной и экономкой» («Воспоминания»). Она оставалась с леди Расселл до самой ее кончины и предано служила ей до конца.

[ 115] Лечащий врач и преданный друг на протяжении более чем двенадцати лет, партнер доктора Андерсона из Ричмонда, вместе с которым он заботился о леди Расселл до конца ее дней.

[ 116] Доктор Андерсон, являвшийся ее верным и преданным другом на протяжении почти тридцати лет.

[ 117] 31 октября 1897 года.

[ 118] Достопочтенный Джеймс Брайс, посол Великобритании в Вашингтоне.
