It may be a message to us from the dead, from human souls we never saw who lived perhaps thousands of miles away, and yet these little sheets of paper speak to us, arouse us, teach us, open our hearts and in turn open their hearts to us like brothers.

<|endoftext|>writing: You see, in my view a writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden.
