Claudel entered the diplomatic service and wrote his first play (The Exchange) when he was 25, served in a variety of posts in Europe and the Far East while turning out mystical poetic dramas, eventually became his country's Ambassador to the U.S. (1927-33) and its most distinguished writer-diplomat since Chateaubriand. In 1935. he retired to devote all of his time to writing. Although most of his plays were heavy with Roman Catholic symbolism and too long for staging, he became a popular as well as a critical success in later years with the postwar productions of his operas, Christophe Colomb (music by Darius Milhaud) and Joan at the Stake (music by Arthur Honegger). Claudel insisted, in his 27-year correspondence with his friend, Novelist Andre Gide (The Correspondence Between Paul Claudel and Andre Gide) that art must bear witness to Christ, assailed modern literary introspectionists as "horrible little terriers who put their paws on one and make one feel the convulsive shivering which animates their wretched bodies."
