Excerpt from The Odd Number, Vol. 13: Thirteen Tales
The turn of his mind has helped him to do this, an extraordinary perceptive appara tus of the personal, material, immediate sort. M. De Maupassant takes his stand on every thing that solicits the sentient creature who lives in his senses; gives the impression of the active, independent observer who 13 ashamed of none of his faculties, describes what he sees, renders, with a rare reproduc tion of tone, what he bears, and is more aux ious to see and to hear than to make sure, in advance, of propping up some particular theory of things.

Excerpt from The Odd Number, Vol. 13: Thirteen Tales
"Why should we concern ourselves so much about French literature, when those who produce it concern themselves so little about ours?"
That strong argument will always be in order, especially among those who do not really know how little the French are, as they say, preoccupied with English and American work; and on some occasions it will be supported by the further inquiry: "Is not the very perfection of French literature to-day an exemplary consequence of the fact that its principal exponents stay at home and mind their business - shut their doors and 'take care of' (soigner) their form? They don't waste time," it will be added, "in superficial excursions, nor have they any confidence in the lessons that are to be learned beyond the frontier.
