I never speak about my passing interests, my plans, my work, my ideas, my relationships, my joys, or my sorrows, persuaded of the profound ennui that one causes others in speaking of oneself. Names, confessions of any degree of seriousness, rarely or ever emerge from my lips. No one can affirm without lying that I have ever uttered what the majority of people utter in their moments of pain, pleasure or vanity. To understand this, you need to delve into my character.Īt no time has it been possible for me to overcome that spirit of reserve and inner solitariness that prevents me talking freely about what moves me. But where had my previous problems come from: my obstinate silence. My relations with Deboffe regarding L’ Essai sur les Révolutions had never completely lapsed, and it was important for me to re-establish them swiftly in London to support my everyday life.
