Will arrive August 5 at 11:43 on the “Chief,” truly hoping we will have lunch together. I miss you greatly. In the peace of this convent, in the midst of these women whose conviction makes them smile, close to Sister Edward, I forget a little what makes everything more and more intolerable: false values, false ambitions, false ideas. What can I say: the lack of values, the absence of ideas, and satisfaction with this emptiness, not too foolish, not too sad. Even here, where we are not as isolated as we were in Sinsinawa, the air still carries with it a dust that nothing can stop. But it is enough to go back into the Chapel, to pick up once again one of the books that remain a mainstay, then reread one of your works, to say to one’s self that after everything, this alone shall remain of our miserable time, deserves to endure, and will overcome our errors, our blindness, our weaknesses. I am so happy you are there, and what luck that the Sachses are staying in Santa Barbara! I hope that you will come often. I need you greatly. All my affection for Vera and for you, Much love, Nadia [P.S.] Sister Edward sends you her thoughts. She prays for you every day. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Dominican Sisters Convent Edgewood College 1000 Edgewood Avenue Madison, Wisconsin Monsieur I.

Dans la paix de ce couvent, au milieu de ces femmes que leur certitude fait souriantes, près de Sister Edward, j’oublie un peu tout ce qui rend tout de plus en plus intolérable, fausses valeurs, fausses ambitions, fausses idées. Que dis-je : le manque de valeurs, l’absence d’idées, et une satisfaction devant ce néant, pas trop bête, pas trop triste. Même ici, où l’on n’est plus isolé comme on l’était à Sinsinawa, l’air apporte encore de cette poussière que rien n’arrête. Mais il suffit de rentrer dans la Chapelle, de reprendre un des livres qui demeurent les piliers, puis relire une de vos œuvres, pour se dire qu’après tout, ce qui seul demeurera de notre misérable temps, vaut de durer, et domine nos erreurs, nos aveuglements, nos faiblesses. Quel bonheur que vous soyez-là [sic], et quelle chance que les Sachs restent à Santa Barbara ! J’espère que vous viendrez souvent. J’ai tant besoin de vous.
