« This book will have been nothing but a navigation without purpose and without a compass, only a dream walk like that aroused by the sight of a tree, a flower, a red squirrel or a frightened rabbit - in the absence of a bird angel from the sky - along a path in the heart of a forest, or when we trace his path through fields without knowing where our steps will lead us. In these pages, it was a painting, a photograph, some transient encounters, a reading sometimes, the source of daydreaming. »

« The book of which I write the first lines here, I would like it to become something like a memory - therefore a fiction - dreamy, that it is a crossing of images, memories, moments, that it resembles the reverie to which the awake sleeper abandons himself, before the excess of clarity puts an end to it. It will be time then to face the day. »
