Le poète et l'inspiration

LIMITED EDITION of 1040 numbered copies. This is one of 125 copies on Japon paper with 2 states of the etchings. A kind of post-conversion manifesto on the poet's place in the world, both as a ferryman and "a pilgrim whom God sends to earth to discover vestiges of Paradise Lost and Heaven Regained" :

"The poet is the one who observes, through the high park gates, couples merged into the blue of the night, and who hears the faint invitation of mandolins. He is not invited to the party; but the white morning glory of darkness crosses the gate, leans towards him who alone discovers all its honey and all its warm snow."
