The watchmaker's heart. (temporary version)
«One talks of my hardness of heart, he told Jacques de Zogheb, a neighbour at Montfort-l'Amaury.They're wrong. And you know it. But I'm Basque. The Basque have a violent sensibilty, but they litte confide, and only in few people.» (1)
"I
never was so happy to live, and I definitely think that joy is much
more fruitful than suffering. That's a belief amont others."

1) The supposed liaison of Debussy and Camille Claudel.
2) The secret love of Beethoven for César Franck.
