38 - Attendance at Warloy-Baillon He wanders in the "path 'Harponville "on the outskirts of Warloy-Bailey ... He does not know when he was born. Above him the sky, clouds, holes immense clarity and shadow in the sky. At the bottom, soil, dust, noise of his own footsteps in the dry grass. In his head, mirages, a vague idea of happiness. A flame too. A jewel unclear. Love? The wind, maybe ... The effect of the elements on his soul unsatisfied fever.
love, maybe love ... Or call poetry. The horizon, the future death. How do I know? He walks, drunk, tormented heart, his head full of strange dreams and supreme.
Now he hurried on, haunted by his lights. And more and more resolute, goes to the fog in the distance. The wind around him is like a great silence, a pat down from the heights which it has radiant intuition. Lost in his melancholy, he does not feel fatigue. Wings win, her eyes soft and scared to dive into invisible depths. It flies more than it works, insensitive to the burden of gravity.
A light ahead.
He also expects light. Historically, for a moment, he does not know. He forgot everything except the taste of the infinite, the flavor of the ether, the call of the spirit, the brilliance of beauty, truth of poetry. All tangled in it, everything becomes clear, too. He walks, hastens, rises, stumbles, gets up, takes its course crazy. The horizon disappears, the light is amplified. The picture becomes clearer.
He's dead, he's alive, it's here, he is there, it is the sky, clouds, grass, wind, dust. He remembers now. Become light itself, it radiates.
He died, buried for a century, living a thousand years, fell walking, died of grief, returned to dust, who died alone with a secret love in his heart, he is pursuing a secret incomplete without continually for a century, a thousand years.
