stunningly poetic and utterly inspiring accounts - these are jaccottet's interactions and reactions w/ nature. birds, sheep, water, trees, soil, etc.
some of the most amazing writings i've stumbled upon - brings up strong emotions for this gal over here... a keeper.

« Je cherche le chemin du centre, où tout s'apaise et s'arrête »(47-48).

« De même que le vent aboutissait, s'achevait en écume, il me paraît que je dois aboutir, comme à l'essentiel, à cette blancheur au pied d'une mobile barrière de paille : couleur sèche, pâle, pas tout à fait réelle au fond, couleur d'hiver, couleur qui n'est jamais vraiment proche (couleur de distance et de retrait), sans poids... » (67).

« Le silence pèse » (92).
