Quotation

" Time, disguised at the appropriate time, leaves mists of time. Unbounded extent of the days which decline. Flickering red of the answering machine, shining in the darkness, around two hours of the morning. Reached sleepwalking, the boulevard roves gloomily and as a recluse between the large standard lamps. Behind the world, there are world and other worlds. Undulation allowing to give what one can the very same day do in the pocket of the following day. Hand holding the end of the sprinkler pipe, compressed by the inch for better directing the water jet and increasing the range by it. Carried ducklings moving in Indian file towards the duck pond, with the dignity of a troop which is exerted for the passage in review. Re-examined of the two Worlds placed, in double specimen, between two mirrors which face. Satanico-divine jokes suggested in example. Employee at the National library opening for the last time at the readers the doors of the room of the Printed papers form, street of Richelieu. Localities sown a little everywhere in the campagne."

Michelle Grangaud, Memories of my collective life , P.O.L., Paris, 2000
