2. I am a French-Canadian retired university professor and
dean of departmental affairs.
Yesterday afternoon while listening to a Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation radio program on Litterature,
I heard an English author quoting Lawrence Durrell
about litterary creation being "introspection conspiring
with art against loneliness".
Looking this quotation up on Google, the only reference
I found was in the third
chapter of a thesis
available on your repository.
Here is the URL of this document:
http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream

3. From my modest perspective, it is living proof
of the usefulness of the iETD Repository and
the fascinating contribution organizations such
as yours bring to the indispensable
globalization of knowledge.
