Nijinsky gained some weight in America, but then he lost it and danced wonderfully again.

Our friends in Montevideo asked us to visit them again at the end of the Argentine season, which we did, and, at the request of the French and English Ambassadors, Vaslav gave an extra performance for the wounded soldiers of the Allies, Rubinstein accompanying him on the piano. The public went wild with enthusiasm. See more

Despite all these worries, which fell upon BarocchiRandolfo Barocci is the administrator of the Russian ballet troupe, the husband of the ballerina Lydia Lopukhova. and me as from a cornucopia, our season in Buenos Aires was most successful. As time went on, the company enormously improved and the ensembles became quite excellent. Lopokova and Tchernicheva were extremely popular and so was Gavrilov, who alternated in the same parts with Nijinsky - to compete with whom was a feat in itself. See more

One time I was frightened, too, by Diaghilev but not any more - I am working very hard and am making great progress. But this progress is very different from that Diaghilev makes. I am different from Diaghilev, I have a heart - and I work with my heart and soul and hope to develop my spirit. I am no longer Nijinsky of the Russian Ballet - I am Vijinsky of God - I love Him and God loves me.

I prayed for the end of the season. Vaslav was dancing Scheherazade. He had made changes in his make-up, which was now a deep hue of silvery grey. Watching him, I forgot all our troubles. See more

It seems I had forgotten one drawback to our recent trip, until I opened the closet one day and discovered it was full of mice. I burst into tears when I saw what they did to my dresses. See more

Children should always be with their mothers. I took my Kyra to America. Stravinsky saw me off at the station, and I gave him my hand very coldly. I did not like him then, and therefore wanted to show him this, bit he did not feel it because he kissed me. I had a nasty feeling. We stayed in America for a year and a half. Thinking that travelling with the child would be bad for her. I left her in New York. Stravinsky did not write to me, nor I to him. Already almost a year and a half I have heard nothing of him.

In Massine Diaghilev developed the love for glory. I was not passionate either about works of art or glory. Diaghilev noticed this and left me alone. Left alone I ran after the girls, I liked them. Diaghilev thought that I was bored, but I was not. I practiced my dances and composed ballets alone. Diaghilev did not like this. See more
