Cancelling Tolstoy or Dostoevsky because Russia invaded Ukraine is no more coherent than cancelling Byron because Russia invaded Ukraine. These writers are branches on a single tree called European literature.

In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought... I
