ImprintParis : Desclee de Brouwer. 1961
QuotationMoved deeply and to tears by Pierre van der Meer de Walcheren's book Rencontres, which he kindly sent, saying rightly in the dedication that we are "clos" - and it is certainly true, for I am somehow of the family of Bloy. The section on Bloy is fine and even more moving is the one on Raissa Maritain.
