Excerpt from À Travers les Mots
Il en est ainsi de nos relations dans le monde: nous connaissons l'histoire des familles que nous ne voyons qu'à distance, que nous ne fréquentons qu'à de rares intervalles, et nous ne savons pas d'où sortent nos domestiques, avec lesquels nous vivons dans une com munente quotidienne.
