    J'ai dans la tête un mal gourmand qui me transforme en rosier stérile. Une saleté qui fait de moi une autre. Je voudrais l’espérance. Les mots me quittent un peu plus chaque jour sans que je puisse les retenir.

    Patience is drawing on underlying forces; it is powerfully positive, though to a natural view it looks like just sitting it out. How would I persist against positive eroding forces if I were not drawing on invisible forces? And patience has a positive tonic effect on others; because of the presence of the patient person, they revive and go on, as if he were the gyroscope of the ship providing a stable ground. But the patient person himself does not enjoy it.
