All thoughts emit a throw of dice

The flesh is sad, alas, and I have read all the books.

A soul trembling to sit by a hearth so bright, To exist again, it’s enough if I borrow from Your lips the breath of my name you murmur all night.

Yes, I know, we are merely empty forms of matter, but we are indeed sublime in having invented God and our soul. So sublime, my friend, that I want to gaze upon matter, fully conscious that it exists, and yet launching itself madly into Dream, despite its knowledge that Dream has no existence, extolling the Soul and all the divine impressions of that kind which have collected within us from the beginning of time and proclaiming, in the face of the Void which is truth, these glorious lies!

The pure work implies the disappearance of the poet as speaker, who hands over to the words.

Everything that is sacred and that wishes to remain so must envelop itself in mystery.

Every soul is a melody which needs renewing.
