Henri-Frederic Amiel : Fragments d'un Journal Intime

Passages in E. M. Forster's Commonplace Book (1944) include two short quotations, from Bede ('Two most wicked spirits rising with forks in their hands[...]') and Amiel ('S'en aller toute d'un fois est un privilege; tu periras par morceaux'), accompanied by note: 'I encounter these two mournful small fry on the same day. Boo hoo down the ages.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Edward Morgan Forster      Print: Book

  

Henri-Frédéric Amiel : The Journal Intime of Henri-Frédéric Amiel

'Finished reading Amiel's "Journal Intime" today. How easy for a critic to lapse into a patronising attitude towards this most sensitive man who was so critical of himself. But it is Amiel who reveals the world's malformities in the undistorted mirror of his self-revelation'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: William Soutar      Print: Book
