1. The reference 11: 201 refers to page 201 in volume 11, Kritika i publitsistika, 1819–1834, in Pushkin, A. S., Polnoe sobranie sochinenii, 17vols. (Moscow, 1937–59)Google Scholar; hereafter PSS, 17 vols. Nepomniashchii quotes from Pushkin's review of two volumes, Vie Poésies et Pensées de Joseph Delorme and Les consolations, Poésies de Sainte–Beuve. There one finds the phrase located in the context of poetry for its own sake and not for the sake of spiritual uplift: “Poeziia, kotoraia po svoemu vysshemu, svobodnomu svoistvu ne dolzhna imet’ nikakoi tseli, krome samoi sebia, tok'mo pache ne dolzhna unizhat'sia do togo, chtob siloiu slova potriasat’ vechnye istiny, no kotorykh osnovany schast'e i velichie chelovecheskoe, ili prevrashchat’ svoi bozhestvennyi nektar v liubostrastnyi, vospalitel'nyi sostav. “
