What Henri VAN LIER said about it
Micheline Lo was particularly fond of Bach's Saint Matthew Passion.
La Mort d'Harcamone became her passion according to Saint Genet, Actor and Martyr,
to quote the bold title which Sartre gave to his lengthy essay on the novelist bandit and playwright.
The writer of Flexte copied the meanders of the text, both as a sequence of words and as a sequence of phantasms.
Valéry's La Jeune Parque had not stepped down so hollow-sounding a stairwell, for she finally uttered:
"Come lower. Speak lower (...) Black is not so black."
