When looking for items such as Maurois / Magiciens et Logiciens etc
it is worth trying Copac National, Academic, & Specialist Library Catalogue http://copac.ac.uk/
which accesses all academic and some city libraries
Searching Maurois / Magiciens et Logiciens found 14 entries, some of them multiple
Hope this is helpful

Dear Mary,
There is a 1935 paperback copy of the Maurois, towards the right hand end of shelf 5 in case E at City University. If you decide to visit, give the main desk a call on 02 070 404061.
Best regards,
John

This set me to checking where Maurois wrote this.
It appears to have been in a collection published in 1935 called Magiciens et Logiciens (or, rather less promisingly in English, Prophets and Poets). However I don't have a copy to confirm this.
The phrase doesn't appear to be in Lancelyn Green's Rudyard Kipling: The Critical Heritage, which reprints Maurois' address to 'an audience of over 150' [!] at the Kipling Society in April 1934.
It also reminds us that Maurois (a pseudonym for Emile Herzog) was a Vice President of the Kipling Society.

Can anyone help?
I read somewhere the view that RK's work had such power because 'he had always remained in contact with the deepest levels of the human spirit', or words to that effect.
I seem to remember that it was Andre Chevrillon - does it ring any bells?
Best wishes
Mary Hamer
