Around H him are the day and the dumpy skyline, the traffic and the policemen, the crowds and their murderous pressures, a brief pause of lawn in front, and behind, a hulking tabernacular mu­ seum. But he is trying to shut these things out, to let them be washed like rubbish down the gutters ofasluggish, dying world. Meanwhile, buoyed up by his tongue, his imagination daI)ces . through a flaming world of imagery. It is poetry and he is entre les lilas et les roses. That would be southern France, where he has never been, but which is nevertheless as real to him, as real •.. well, as real as anything could be. About what other place could you justly say o moisdes floraisons moisdes metamorphoses Mai quelutsans nuage et]uin poignartU ~ ]en'oublierai jamais les lilas ni leslroses .
