| Introduction | Like a person leaving Paris for the desert, and smiling at it from a solitary distance; like a traveler waiting with deep sighs for long days spent at sea; like a monk whose eyes caress the walls of his monastery, I open my soul to the small solitudes of the day ... [adapted from Madeleine Delbrel, We, the Ordinary People of the Streets] |
