« J’ai d’abord répondu à ma chère recluse avec intention de n’écrire que quatre ou six lignes comme elle me disait de faire ; mais je n’avais pas assez de temps pour lui écrire une courte lettre : elle fut de quatre pages /.../ »
G. Casanova, "Histoire de ma vie", Gallimard, coll. Pléiade, 2013, T. 1, page 725.

Gide je crois (à vérifier) écrit quelque part : « faire court, c’est toujours plus long. »

“What would there be in a story of happiness?” #gide #parisinjuly2024

Whenever there's a reading event of some kind coming up, I love to make a pile of options, but almost always fall right off the wagon and pick something different! Today's book is a good example of that; I chose so many possibles for Paris in July, and as soon as I'd published an image, I remembered some other books I could pick.

<< El hilo te mantendrá unido al pasado. Regresa a él. Regresa a ti. Pues nada procede de la nada y es en el pasado, en lo que eres hoy, donde se apoya tu futuro. >>

Visited Astley Book Farm in Warwickshire today for the first time and absolutely loved it. I don't read as much as I used to, way too much sitting scrolling on my phone! Definitely going to make a change, there's nothing better than being surrounded with books.

Uomini e cose…

Andando in biblioteca e poi leggendo qualcosa su Maritain...

Ero andato in biblioteca comunale a comprare dei libri. Il sole era alto nel cielo. Era un epomeriggio afoso. Non c'era un alito di vento. Ho camminato indisturbato  a passo svelto. Ero un poco titubante a immergermi in quel mare di gioventù.  C'erano studenti e studentesse
