Excerpt from The Story of a Lover
But then, with returning strength, there came metaphysical skepticism. These great strue tures of philosophy seemed to me to be houses of cards, toys for imaginative children. And at the same time there burst upon me, with re newed intensity, the world of sensuous art, the direct, disturbing force of Nature, the mysteri ous appeal of Woman. Philosophy had pre pared me for a greater absorption in life than would otherwise have been possible. It helped to make me incapable of what men call prae tical life, and made me attach values only to significant things.

Excerpt from The Story of a Lover
Was thirty years old when I saw her for the first time. We did not speak, we were not introduced, but I knew that I must meet her; I knew that love which had hitherto been gnawing in my imagination and my senses, had found an object. I fell in love at first sight. She did not see me - and I sometimes think she has never seen me since, although we are married and have lived together for fifteen years.
Life had prepared me to love. I was born sensitive and passionate, and had acquired more emotion than I was endowed with.
