    • [This book is written in French.] Georges Duhamel, à l'inverse de nombreux écrivains qui nourrissent à l'égard de la musique une sourde haine, avait la religion de la musique. Il l'écoutait sans cesse, la chantait, la pratiquait autour de lui. S'il avait été Schéhérazade, c'est sans doute ainsi qu'il aurait pu sauver sa vie, pendant mille et une nuits. George Duhamel, unlike many writers who have a deaf hatred for music, has the religion of music. He is constantly listening to it, singing it, practicing it. If he had been Scheherazade, this is probably how he would have saved his life during a thousand and one nights.
