| Paul Claudel |
Mercy is not a lifeless gift of something we already have too much of, it is a passion like a knowledge.
It is a discovery like the knowledge of your face in the depths of this heart which you have made.
If all your stars are necessary to me, how much more all my brothers?
...Behold the outside world where lies our laic duty,
Without scorn of one's fellow man, with love of one's fellow man,
Observing the Ten Commandments better than one sees I knew how to,
Saying my prayers morning and night and giving each person his due.
