The concept of good and evil, beauty and ugliness, modalities for translating them into concrete actions of temporal and spiritual matters it's very important for book of L. Tolstoy and of K. Balmont. After much reflection what beauty is, why beauty can’t be the bearer of evil in the world, two writers have done a discovery, that sounded very solemnly. Both L. Tolstoy and K. Balmont spoke in unison about innocence, sin-free, good, truth and beauty of the child.
