Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abbe Pierre I am here in my garden-house now, and very con veniently have I arranged it so that I can write the things I have long wanted to write. I wish that my old friend, the Abbe Rivoire, were not SO far away, so that he could see it all, just as it is. I have made a sturdy table with some thick boards, nailed firmly on two boxes which Monsieur Rigot, the proprietor of the cafe, gave me. It is covered with a cloth, so that the boards do not Show in the least. I have placed it so that, as I write, I look out the doorway, which frames the church tower against the sky like a clear-cut picture; only, this particular picture has the advantage of varying every hour with the mov ing clouds and the changing sun and the shadows that do not long remain the same. No one ever had a more beautiful place or a more quiet place in which to write. Sometimes, it is true, I become SO inter ested in the thoughts that come to me that I forget to set them down; and, helas.' they are the best thoughts of all - the thoughts we have when we fall into long reveries on a summer's afternoon, and then awake with a start, somehow feeling that we have been near infinite things. But one cannot put such thoughts on paper. No, the words will not come soon enough, and, before we know it, the mood has passed.
