A prolific essayist, he published in numerous newspapers and journals, translated Russian authors, and was also interested in mysticism and occultism. He reacted to the reading of the manuscript of The Masked Angel that Suarès had sent him. Waiting until page 50 to write to him, he replied in a thoroughly spiritualist vein: “inspiration, the vehicle of airy fantasy, can create a spiritual lineage of works in any context (.) but, in the end, the auras of the most powerful, today and burdened, can only emanate from what their nature allows them to receive from the Spirit Heaven-Earth.
But Egypt in the times that exoticism calls prehistory.” He sees in Suarès’s individuality “the existence of a strange crystal with such particular, new reflections of the Spirit-Heaven-Earth. Intellectually, spiritually, you discover horizons, you perceive them — and with what poetry — unsuspected, striking.” The Masked Angel (Treatise on the Intelligible and the Sensible).Was announced in 1966 as forthcoming.
