From Thornton Wilder's "The Bridge of San Luis Rey"

August 23, 2026

“…Like her son-in-law they misunderstood her: he delighted in her letters, but he thought that when he had enjoyed the style he had extracted all their richness and intention, missing (as most readers do) the whole purport of literature, which is the notation of the heart.”
