“The shifting sands of the world... show how much the surrealists were drawn towards an interrogation of what reality actually is. Unlike fabulists of whatever hue, there is a materiality in surrealist writing that resolutely keeps it, one might say, 'down to earth'.”
Michael Richardson, Dedalus Book of Surrealism 2: The Myth of the World

Alexandre Jarry
“— Ô Lune Noire, sache que je t’ai attendue. Non, mon attente n’a pas été pieuse et bercée d’une félicitée béate. Mes espoirs, je les ai conservés contre moi en affrontant les tempêtes de la nature. Mes craintes, je les ai endossées avec peine et, souvent, elles m’ont valu d’épouvantables souffrances. Quant à mes croyances, elles chancèlent chaque jour, avançant fébrilement sur la crête d’une montagne acérée. Non, belle Lune Noire, je n’ai pas été le dévot infaillible. J’ai encaissé les douleurs et j’en ai souvent questionné la cause, me demandant si les dieux veillaient vraiment sur l’indigent que je suis... J’ai interrogé l’Océan Céleste, j’ai invoqué le Grand Pêcheur dans les moments de détresse, et j’ai remercié les Constellations Silencieuses lorsque le sort m’était propice. Mais jamais, jamais je n’ai obtenu de réponse. Pas un signe. Pas une faveur, pas une mise en garde. Rien ! Alors j’ai continué à croire et j’ai contemplé chacun de tes croissants. J’ai chéri chaque pas sous l’éclat argenté de ta lumière. Mais, peu à peu, je suis forcé d’admettre que mon regard est tombé et que j’ai plus souvent observé mes pieds que ta robe. Nuit après nuit, ma foi s’est faite ténue… Et je regrette, aujourd’hui, d’avoir parfois pensé que l’interposition ne viendrait pas. Que l’éclipse n’était qu’une fable, qu’un rêve mal placé dans mon esprit puéril. Un rêve idiot qui avait induit les sages en erreur…
Comme je regrette ! Comme je suis confus et contrit de découvrir, à présent, que le tort s’était saisi de moi… La puissance de ton ombre est manifeste : Fe’Rah Grundt ne peut que s’incliner ! Quant à ton aura… Quelle… Quelle splendeur ! J’ai devant mes yeux la plus magnifique fantasmagorie qu’il m’ait été donné de voir. C’est tellement plus grandiose que dans mon rêve. Et, plus sublime encore que dans mes tentatives d’imagination éveillée ! L’éclipse… L’éclipse est assurément le tournant de mon existence, j’en suis convaincu. Car même si tu me répudies, même si tu m’ignores, même si tu te contraries de mes paroles et choisis de m’en punir, je serai – Ô superbe Lune Noire – à jamais changé, en mon être tout entier, de t’avoir pu observer.

Sur ces paroles fiévreuses et enflammées d’un amour sincère dont il s’ignorait capable, Welihann se tait puis pose un genou à terre. Les yeux brillants, il plonge dans la noirceur du cercle magique et cligne le moins possible des paupières, bien décidé à ne pas en perdre la moindre miette. Le spectacle, d’une beauté enivrante, le transporte et ranime toute sa foi. Il se sent transpercé de légendes, envahi de gloire, porté en avant par les chants des Ancêtres, pénétré par les mille générations l’ayant précédé, ayant foulé ces steppes, ayant grimpé ces concrétions, s’étant faufilés entre les prédécesseurs de ces arbres… Il est Welihann, il est les Anciens, il est le Passé et l’Avenir de son peuple. Il convoie en son être la culture d’une tribu et voyage à dos de rêves sur les épaules du monde. Il n’est plus qu’un avec la Nature et devient, loin, au fond de lui, le messager des Mük’Atah. Le pourvoyeur de Vie, façonné d’Amour et disposé à embrasser la Mort. Il est Welihann, l’enfant au destin différent, l’enfant libre et sans chemin tracé, capable d’ouvrir sous chacun de ses pas, les pages de chapitres interdits, inconnus, impossibles ou désirés. Il est Welihann, l’enfant-homme, l’enfant-frère, le frère-homme que personne n’attend et que tout le monde espère, le prophète malvenu, le maudit habité par la fortune.
Il est Welihann et il sait, à présent, combien son destin compte, combien l’éclipse importe. Il est Welihann et il sait que son nom promet et devine que son sort ne sera rien de moins qu’exceptionnel.”
Alexandre Jarry, Sous les constellations silencieuses
