À Mademoiselle * 30, rue Ampère. My dear Alice, I am glad for you if you like Pont-Aven, only... you know I am not an admirer of the celebrated Britain because all the artists that go there bring back studies who all seem to come from the same shop... with the difference of qualities... first, second, third and eleventh... It is love.
An untiring curiosity which accompanied a remarkable acuteness of all the senses, and an emotional and intellectual receptivity which rendered him quickly and profoundly impressionable, equipped Daudet to express the poetic spirit of the south in its epic as well as its lyric qualities. He was aware of this himself.
Where sadness does not dominate in Daudet, irony takes its place. These two qualities, sadness which is inspired by pity for human suffering and irony which betrays impatience with human folly, these two qualities which are the heart and soul of Daudet's work are the enemies of that impassiveness which is the indispensable attitude of the realist, and which Daudet tried in vain to acquire.
