-I-
To each day its own death
But we don’t know where we are going
There are in the library
Books that I haven’t read in a long time
Each book is like a tomb enclosing some thoughts
-II-
Yesterday I was watching the beginning of a very old movie,
I could see on the screen all the names of the people who had made this film
And I said to myself none of them is alive today
Nobody knows these names anymore
It was useless to sign
-III-
I must learn to count
But I forget every time the numbers
Maybe there is only a second between me and my death
In nature an animal can be killed at any moment
And it must kill something to live on
Strange logic.
-IV-
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the Père La'chaise cemetery located on a hill
There are many tourists up there in the summer
They look among the graves for the names of famous people
It is a game
-V-
I just understood at fifty three years old that my father should never have told my mother
to stop working
He worked himself even for his own mother who was a horrible woman
She was able to keep him under her power
Fatal error
-Ivan de MonBrison
