"In Giono's world we have the sombreness of Hardy's moors, the
eloquence of Lawrence's flowers and lowly creatures, the enchantment and
sorcery of Arthur Machen's Welsh settings, the freedom and violence of
Faulkner's world, the buffoonery and licence of the medieval mystery
plays. And with all this a pagan charm and sensuality which stems from
the ancient Greek world."
Henry Miller, The Books in My Life.
I love Henry Miller all the more for his admiration for Giono!
