Excerpt from Pingot Et Moi: Journal d'un Officier d'Artillerie
Le premier Est-ce bien le jour qui convient à. Cette besogne ardue? La balistique offre un degré suffisant d'abstraction: je m'en vais chercher cette formule. Le premier janvier, oh la joyeuse date Nous embrassions nos parents par ordre de primogéniture et nous recevions nos cadeaux, de beaux jouets tout neufs. Dans la maison de mes parents j'étais un enfant joyeux. Je n'ai plus du tout de joie, depuis qu'ils sont morts. C'est Henri Heine qui a écrit cela il était en France, et pensait à cette vieille femme somnolente au fond d'un hiver allemand qui lui gardait l'amour, l'amour introuvable.
