As a new reader of Narrative, born this very day, imagine my surprise at finding a recent thought of mine echoed in the words of Delacroix. That is - that one can never be fully known by any one person and how this causes an "inevitable loneliness to which the heart is doomed.” Finding a kindred soul through language made a welcome crack in the wall of separation. Thank you Eugène, Walter, and everyone behind the scenes at Narrative!
