oh my, you have been posting the best things recently! loved the finials post - and felicitations on the new house (in the touraine! i'm trying not to be violently jealous.....)
i'm sure there are many americans who would be very surprised at how tenderly the "greatest generation" are remembered and honored in france.
Les choses nous rendent regard pour regard. Elles nous paraissent indifférentes parce ce que nous les
regardons d'un regard indifférent. Mais pour un oeil clair, tout est miroir; pour un regard sincère et
grave, tout est profondeur. Objects return our gazes look for look. They seem indifferent to us because we look on them
indifferently. But for the eye that sees clearly, everything is a mirror; for a sincere and mindful observer,
everything is profound.BACHELARD
