Excerpt from Colette From dying of despair and ennui preserve me, O Lord! and do not forget me in this snow which piles every day a little higher around me! I have formulated this ejaculatory prayer so many times without ever receiving any response that, at last, fairly wearied, I write it. Written things have more weight, it seems to me, and besides, it takes more time to write them. And I am in the habit of speaking aloud instead of quietly thinking, for, to pronounce a word loudly and make it resound against the great wainscoting of my room occupies me longer, and for this reason I begin to write to-day. But alas! what shall I find for to-morrow?... My writing-materials are not elegant, not even sufficient indeed, and there is not the smallest secret drawer in which to conceal my note-book! The ink was dry in the bottle that I found, all my pens are lost, and I have never had a sheet of paper here. Why should I have any, since I write to no one? It is impossible to go down to the village. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
