I am going to start working on it again in a week, when I have finished with Kant and Hegel. These two great men are helping to stupefy me, and when I leave them I fall with eagerness upon my old and thrice great Spinoza. What genius, how fine a work the Ethics is! CCXXI. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset 9 April, 1872
Perhaps because I am of both sexes. XLIV. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT at Croissset Nohant, 15 January, 1867 Here I am at home, fairly strong except for several hours during the evening. Why do I love you more than most of the others, even more than old and well-tried friends? I am asking, for my condition at this hour, is that of being
I would write you at length about Cadio; but it is late and my eyes are smarting. So, thank you, very kindly, my dear master. XCIV. To M. GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Paris, end of September, 1868 Dear friend, It is for Saturday next, 3rd October. I am at the theatre every evening from six o'clock till two in the morning.
Your last letter but one was very sad. You also, heroic being, you feel worn out! What then will become of us! I have just reread the conversations between Goethe and Eckermann. There was a man, that Goethe! But then he had everything on his side, that man. CLXIX. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 29 June, 1870
CCLXXXVI. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 16th January, 1875 I too, dear Cruchard, embrace you at the New Year, and wish that you may have a tolerable one, since you do not care to hear the myth happiness spoken of. You admire my serenity; it does not come from my depths, it comes from my necessity of thinking only of others.
I shall tell Daudet also to send you his Jack, as I am very curious to have your opinion on these two books, which are very different in composition and temperament, but quite remarkable, both of them. The fright which the elections caused to the bourgeois has been diverting. CCCVI. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 15th March, 1876
CIX. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Nohant, 12 March, 1869 Poor Calamatta died the 9th, my children are coming back. My Lina must be distressed. I have news from them only by telegraph. From Milan here in an hour and a half. But there are no details, and I am anxious. I embrace you tenderly, G. Sand Thank you for the address. CX. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 2 April, 1869
P.S. Could you give me a copy or the original of Cruchard's biography; I have no draft of it and I want to reread it to freshen up MY IDEAL. CCLXXV. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 10 April, 1874 Those who say that I do not think Saint-Antoine beautiful! and excellent, lie about it, I do not need to tell you. Let me ask you how I could have confided in the Levy clerks whom I do not know!
CCLXI. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 30 August, 1873 Where are you to be found now? where are you nestled? As for me, I have just come from Auvergne with my whole household, Plauchut included. Auvergne is beautiful, above all it is pretty. The flora is always rich and interesting, the walking rough, the living accommodations poor.
Et in Arcadia ego, you know, I love you, dear friend brother, and bless you with all my heart. G. Sand Monday. XLII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Paris, 9 January, 1867 Dear comrade, Your old troubadour has been tempted to bite the dust. He is still in Paris. He should have left the 25th of December; his trunk was strapped; your first letter was awaiting him every day at Nohant.
