'I didn't write to thank you for the delightful volume ["The Pathos of Distance: A Book of a Thousand and One Moments"] as I hoped [...] to have the pleasure of seeing you here for a day.[...]. Je goute infiniment tout ce que vous écrivez. Apart from the temperamental sympathy I feel for your work the lightness of your surface touch playing over the deeper meaning of your criticism is very fascinating.'
