By the way, I saw Suzette la Blonde dining last night with old Solly Jesse Monsieur le Comte Jessé!
The peace that thus blesses one is not, I think, a merely subjective mood, an imagined thing. It is, I believe, a real and actual thing which is there. One's consciousness does not create its impressions, one does not make for oneself the moral and artistic ideas that visit one; one perceives them.
