" At this time of day,when I feel myself overflowing,I would like to possess all the malice of language,the free caprice of a style as a destiny.But no,only the high skies are everything,remote,abolishing themselves,and the emotion I have,so many emotions mixed together,is nothing more than the reflection of the nullity of a sky in a lake within me-a lake kept secluded by steep cliffs,quiet,the eye of a dead man,in which the altitude forgets itself in order to contemplate itself."

"...the kids had something additional.A chivalrous nature,i would call it. If they obliged to play with children younger than themselves,which is frequently the case,they sponsor them as no grownup could. What i particularly like about them is that they play hard and rough: they have a vitality and a sense of play that seems inborn. You will never find them whimpering and whining. They were little men at five and six ..."
