Narrated events never keep the same respective values that they have in life. You have to change them to preserve their truth. What matters is to represent the feeling they give me.

Night wakens phosphorescence on the lakes, and the marshland will-o’-the-wisps rising over those lakes seem the phosphorescence’s sublimation. Marshes! Who, who can tell of your charms? Tityrus! I mustn’t show these pages to Angela, I thought. They make Tityrus seem happy.

“Quelle douleur - chercher la parole perdue,
Relever ces paupières douloureuses
Et, la chaux dans le sang, rassembler pour les tribus étrangères
L'herbe des nuits.”

“This process of assimilation, which takes place in depth, requires a state of relaxation that is becoming rarer and rarer. If sleep is the apogee of physical relaxation, boredom is the apogee of mental relaxation. Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away. His nesting places - the activities that are intimately associated with boredom - are already extinct in the cities and are declining in the country as well. With this the gift for listening is lost and the community of listeners disappears. For storytelling is always the art of repeated stories, and this art is lost when the stories are no longer retained.”
