Pierre de Coulerain : Au Coeur de la Vie

'I try to read always with a very open mind, wide away [awake?] to assimilate all the author's knowledge. I have such a great admiration for authorship. After just finishing Pierre de Coulerain's book, "Au coeur de la Vie" I can't help exclaiming "wonderful woman". I have enjoyed her book so much because nearly all her ideas are mine, the thoughts that she has been able to so well express have often been mine, but mine were inarticulate. That I take it is the whole art of authorship, to be able to put on paper one's thoughts. The question of the quality of the "thought" remains entire so I take it a poor thinker can never be a writer. It is logical therefore to try to learn to think aright.'
