Dans une exploration de l'intime, Gwenaële Robert retrace son voyage à Ermenonville sur les pas de Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Derrière la thèse consacrée à l'auteur des Confessions du promeneur solitaire, la narratrice va retrouver toute son enfance.

  En lice pour le Prix À livre ou verre En deux mots Les enfants ayant quitté la maison, la narratrice décide de reprendre sa thèse sur Jean-Jacques Rousseau et part à Ermenonville où l’écrivain est décédé. Mais à 5 km de là se trouve aussi sa maison familiale et les souvenirs d’enfance… Son séjour va se prolonger. Ma note ★★★ (bien aimé) Ma chronique Rousseau, notre maison et mon enfance Dans…

If you were here, I would throw myself on you in a storm, I would shake off all the skins and wools that dress you, and I would marry the smooth trunk of your body, in the light. Do you remember the sun in our room at Ermenonville? Dear, dear, dear love, wonderful, I drink your mouth, as then, and I tie myself to you, forever.

Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, February 14, 1950 [#192]

After three ways in the rain image

when waking your counterimage: he,

the magician. Angels weave you in

the dragonbody. Rings in the way,

long in the rain I become yours.

WILL I MEET YOU SOMETIME?

After three ways in the rain image when waking your counterimage: he, the magician. Angels weave you in the dragonbody. Rings in the way, long in the rain I become yours.

Anagram poetry by Unica Zürn, Ermenonville, 1959. Trans: Pierre Joris.

Digging Up the Dead

During the 1780s, the very decade when the new American nation had its genesis, a highly unusual tomb was being planned to rebury the French philosopher and social critic Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–78) on an island in a small lake at Ermenonville, near Senlis.

The explanation lies in the contrasts between two kinds of political cultures—one more nearly univocal in terms of basic democratic values, the other with partisans speaking past one another.

Radiant day. The sky shines on all the mountains up to the horizon and to the sea, all blue, in the distance. The wind whitens the olive trees; and birds are singing everywhere. In addition, your letters of Sunday - Monday especially. Yes, we find ourselves in the heart of things. That you belong to me absolutely and forever, that a being, and a being such as you, is thus given to me without reserve, it fills me with a strength of joy that would fill three lifetimes. Do not fear: based on this certainty, I can live, create, make and radiate happiness on all. It is the greatness and goodness of life to be able to grow and overflow, without mutilation, by the force of blood alone. 

On days like today, and thanks to you, my great love, I feel as if I have all the light of the sky on my face. Thank you, my darling, my smooth, my deep! Shock me because you speak to me naturally about your desire? You know very well that you don't. You know very well that I am at ease with desire, that pleasure has a soul for me, and that I love your body as I love your heart, at the same time and with the same gratitude. Shock me? But I would like even more for you to put yourself all raw, all alive, open in your letters so that this blind desire where I live knows better what it tends to, where it wants to sink and bury itself. 

I have never separated you from your body. But although I am literally intoxicated by this body I have never desired you nor taken you in by forgetting you. This is the act of love, for as long as I have known you. When two beings love each other, if they are not hideous, if they love each other, everything is allowed and everything is wonderful. Yes, the pleasure that ends in gratitude, it is the wet flower of days. What a joy to be alive, you and me, and to be alive together! Friday night I'll be thinking about you (by the way, you were supposed to tell me in detail about your outing at the Iberia - but I'm still waiting. I fear the worst). The Third Man! Janine plays it every day here on the piano. I don't like the famous haunting "theme" very much, but I like the sad waltz. The G[allimards] are staying an extra week because M[ichel] has been told that there is an epidemic of influenza in Paris. Yesterday afternoon my brother arrived and he is now settled in the hotel here. He brought me especially excellent news of my mother. 

Ah, my love, how I love you! All my senses, all my heart savor you and caress you. To wait, to work, to free myself, to work above all, these are my decisions. But especially to prepare our meeting, to imagine it, to reserve forces intact for this moment, to create others. Mine, finally! If you were here, I would throw myself on you in a storm, I would shake off all the skins and wools that dress you, and I would marry the smooth trunk of your body, in the light. Do you remember the sun in our room at Ermenonville? Dear, dear, dear love, wonderful, I drink your mouth, as then, and I tie myself to you, forever.
