Round the table in the evening, at Casablanca, at Dakar, at Buenos Aires, we take up conversations interrupted by years of silence; we resume friendships to the accompaniment of buried memories. And then we are off again. Thus is the earth at once a desert and a paradise, rich in secret hidden gardens inaccessible, but to which the craft leads us ever back, one day or another. Life may scatter us and keep us apart; it may prevent us from thinking very often of one another; but we know that our comrades are somewhere “out there” where , one can hardly say – silent , forgotten, but deeply faithful. And when our path crosses theirs, they greet us with such manifest joy, shake us so gaily by the shoulders! In deed we are accustomed to waiting.
Bit by bit, nevertheless, it comes over us that we shall never again hear the laughter of our friend, that this one garden is forever locked against us. And at that moment, begins our true mourning, which, though it may not be rending, is yet a little bitter. For nothing, in truth can replace that companion. Old friends cannot be created out of hand. Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions. It is idle, having planted an acorn in the morning, to expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of an oak.
So life goes on. For years we plant the seed, we feel ourselves rich; and then comes other years when time does its work and out plantation is made sparse and thing. One by one, our comrades slip away, deprive us of their shade.
