Author Description

Excerpt from Les Heures Sérieuses d'un Jeune Homme Si, pour échapper aux distractions qui l'obsèdent, il veut vivre loin du monde et renoncer au commerce des hommes, il se trouve abandonné à lui - mème, isolé, privé des forces que nous puisons en nous asso ciant à nos frères, et livré sans défense aux dangers de l' isolement, car il n' y a plus comme autrefois de des associations qui éloignent du monde sans séparer des hommes, qui concentrent la vie sans l'iso ler, et qui font tourner la solitude au pro fit de la charité.
