The Sea Close By

The Sea Close By was writen when Camus was 24 and Summer In Algiers when he was in his 40s. And both essays shows exceptional differences.
First one makes Camus so hardcore poet and writer as its like this man knew where to use exact word for everything. I had to hold a dictionary to understanding it. The second, Summer In Algiers is more like observing and less hard vocabulary than previous one. Its more like just describing whats he been through and happens there everyday. He didnt get poetic at all this time.
Loves a lot. Though first one more inspiring to me than other one. Great work by the 20th century's one of greatest thinker.

“Thus, though I possess nothing, have given away my fortune, camp by the side of all my houses, I can still be blessed with all riches when I choose, set sail at every hour, unknown to despair. There is no country for those who despair, but I know that the sea comes before and after me, and hold my madness ready.”

“Men praise me, I dream a little, they insult me, I scarcely show surprise. Then I forget, and smile at the man who insulted me, or am too courteous in greeting the person I love.”
