Francois Maspero Quotes

The Faces You Clutch At Desperately Slip Away; It's When You're Not Thinking About Them That Their Features Flash Past. It Can Happen On A Street Corner, At The Turn Of A Staircase, Because Somebody Said A Word, Because Some Image, An Image Has Passed. Then The Face Is There For A Split Second, Very Fragile. One Mustn't Grasp At It, Or It Whisks Away. One Might As Well Try And Catch A Cloud. It Was A Cloud.
