“Un soir, alors que je sortais en courant du collège, tout à coup je me suis immobilisé: je me sentais au centre du monde, j’ai levé les yeux et, entre deux nuages, j’ai vu l’azur ouvert, indéchiffrable, infini. Je ne savais que dire: je venais de connaître l’enthousiasme et, peut-être, la poésie.”
“One evening, as I was running out of high school, I suddenly froze: I felt as if I was at the centre of the world, I looked up and, in-between two clouds, I saw the azure open, indecipherable, infinite. I was speechless: I had just discovered enthusiasm and, maybe, poetry.”
