Am well. Thinking of you always. Love

One always has exaggerated ideas about what one doesn't know.

I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.

In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.

At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.

In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.
