Flesh and the Word

In this small and bright admirable book, Ramuz raises the body by awakening the Word. His tongue is a mountain torrent which living water on the pebbles short of pain to finally revive Joy.

At a time when many purported writers tend toward simplicity and total lack of style by giving the reader to drink phrases in dead water taste, Ramuz verb, meanwhile, is a water-in -Life that revives in us the sense of beauty, of the ineffable and unfathomable mystery.

It is a language that is embodied, literally taking shape before our eyes.
