Georges BERNANOS (1888-1948). 2 L.A.S., Clermont [24.X.1928] and [20.XII.1929]; 2 pages in-4 with envelope, and 2 pages oblong in-12.
To J. Moremans of Liège, thanking him for his "generous article! Obviously, I don't deserve such friendships, but you well feel that they are, if not my reason for living, at least my reason for writing. Without them, I wouldn't have the courage to do anything. Our profession would be so foolish!"...
"I am so touched to find your affectionate and faithful thought at every little turn in my life! How silly of me not to have shaken your hand yet! But it's always like that. The only possession we have (temporary, alas!) - time - is stolen from us by people we don't even want to think about, but who arrogate to themselves the right to think for us. What a bitter, monotonous comedy!
