Quotes by Hélène Dorion  (?)

“Most often, we walk without understanding this movement, without hearing its step, but knowing that we must go beyond an emptiness in us, and that only then our walk begins. In these moments, I think of the desert, of you.

Suddenly the beating of a bird's heart; that alone breaks the air. Behind me, steps I know I made but which the ground did not retain. I wanted to learn thirst. Sand is this infinity that passes through us slowly ever since a beginning that we cannot name. Stripped of itself, the world restores its whiteness which, alone now, upholds the memory I am remaking. Detached, I am still trying to see if there is someone.

My flesh melted in the desert.”
Helene Dorion, The Edges of Light: Selected Poems, 1983-1990

“Il n'est de voyage
qu'en cette forme heurtée
du regard, cette boussole qui te déplace.
Et la route se dérobe, révèle
d'autres mondes, d'autres voyages.
Tu deviens pour toi-même
désert et limite, la frontière éclatée.

Il reste des taches de vies
au bord des jours, ces visages
que l'ombre a cessé d'enfouir.”
Hélène Dorion, Ravir : les lieux

“le bord d'une falaise
où chutent nos poèmes
et la neige
nous apprend à perdre
tout ce que l'on perdra”
Hélène Dorion, Mes forêts
