“And Manuel embraced his mother and they laughed together: Délira’s laugh sounded surprisingly young; that was because she hadn’t really had the chance to make it heard; life was just not happy enough for that. No, she never had time to use it; she had kept it fresh as can be, like a birdsong in an old nest.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he makes her young again.”
—Léon Blum (1872–1950)
