Daily Dose

From The Correspondence of Andre Gide and Edmund Gosse, 1904 -- 1928, edited by Linette F. Brugmans

TRUE

"What you say is true, and it will stay true; and that in spite of a lot of things being written these days that are true only as matching a transient mood*."

From a letter from Gide to Gosse, dated July 27, 1916, acknowledging the gift of Gosse's book, Inter Arma.

*"d'esprit de ciconstance"
