A writer's works like water in an artesian well rise to the depth of the author’s suffering. The quotes mention life’s machinery at Versailles, wealth as a condition for virtue, knowledge that cannot prevent but stays in thoughts, death as a recoverable illness, and that bonds exist only in the mind. They also note that familiar reality can become art.
