Eugénie Paultre

WINTER 5

the singular sensation of sky visits any free spirit so that it can hide in the tiniest corners of things the real is recognizable in hardness as if matter were the way to the world’s density anonymous presence sweet protection this tension that tends to be forgotten when it reaches constancy this vitality that interferes slyly thanks to that thoroughness the ability to gain position to feel deeply marriage’s meaning to agree to prolong justify amplify the desire to live and give it substance and thus reach unknowingly a living secret

HIVER 5

HIVER 5

l’incomparable sensation de ciel s’offre à l’esprit libre pour se lover dans le moindre repli des choses le réel se reconnaît à la dureté sans doute comme si la matière était le moyen de découvrir la densité du monde présence anonyme douce protection cette tension qui se fait oublier lorsqu’elle parvient à la constance cette vitalité qui s’immisce en sous-œuvre par cet approfondissement gagner en stature sentir en soi le sens du mariage se laisser traverser prolonger justifier amplifier en soi l’envie de vivre lui donner corps et ainsi toucher à son insu à un vivant secret
