Il le fallait, il fallait y réussir; à
vrai dire je ne savais pas encore comment, et pendant ces premiers
instants j'ouvrais mes mains, les regardais, faisais craquer les
jointures de mes doigts, soit que l'esprit qui ne peut trouver ce qu'il
cherche, pris de paresse, s'accorde de faire halte pendant un instant
où les choses les plus indifférentes lui apparaissent distinctement,
comme ces pointes d'herbe des talus qu'on voit du wagon
trembler
au
vent, quand le train s'arrête en rase campagne--immobilité qui n'est
pas toujours plus féconde que celle de la bête capturée qui
paralysée par la peur ou fascinée regarde sans bouger--soit que je
tinsse tout préparé mon corps--avec mon intelligence au dedans et en
celle-ci les moyens d'action sur telle ou telle personne--comme n'étant

Léa et de ses deux amies.

Like an

Faust, a Tragedy by Goethe |

The wood, the tiger, at thy call
Have follow'd: thou canst rivers stay:
The

To thee gave way,
Grim Cerberus, round whose Gorgon head
A hundred snakes are hissing death,
Whose triple jaws black venom shed,
And sickening breath.
