"…Attribuez à mon souffle trop court ce qui dans mon propos restera obscur ou froid. Mais retenez la comparaison – elle définit le Livre en tant que Livre c’est-à-dire en tant qu’inspiration…" (E. Lévinas)

thy blood thy direction
"Let thy blood be thy direction till thy death."
My blood, a deadly hurt animal.
Its direction, seeking a refuge, in vain.
My death approaches, I can feel the breathing of bloodhounds, nearer and nearer.
If a wind could come from the wings of an angel
and my body could learn instantly the art of flying.
Then the sun. Only the sun.
My blood, my direction.
