A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket.

About
Charles Pierre Peguy was a noted French poet, essayist, and editor born in Orléans. His two main philosophies were socialism and nationalism, but by 1908 at the latest, after years of uneasy agnosticism, he had become a devout but non-practicing Roman Catholic. From that time, Catholicism strongly influenced his works.
