Christian Bobin : la beauté simple du quotidien.

An Interview, 2007.


Skeptical, often deserving; a purgative; a seasoner; give live-
liness, pungency; a preservative; create a false impression;

our black hands … tassels, tassels .. the words come, and
the words come, trailing like dew upon the world’s wet
wounds, O salt!

Charles Wright, Salt

I thought how, with the glory of its bloom,
I should the darkness of my life illume

Paul Laurence Dunbar, Promise
