Reveries on Reverie/Reveries toward Childhood

Childhood sees the World illus­trated,  the World  with  its original colors,  its true colors.  The great once-upon-a-time (autrefois) which we relive by dreaming in our memories of childhood is precisely the world of the first time.

For those of us who can only work on written documents, on documents which are produced by a will to 'edit,' a certain indecision cannot be obliterated in the conclusions which terminate our inquiries. In point of fact, who writes? The animus or the anima?

These seasons find  the means to  be singular while remaining universal.  They  circle in  the sky  of Childhood  and  mark  each childhood  with  indelible signs.  Thus our great memories lodge within the zodiac of memory, of a cosmic memory which does not need the precisions of the social memory in order to be psycholog­ically  faithful.  It is the very  memory  of our belonging  to  the world,  to  a world  commanded  by  the dominating  sun.
