The poet plays on the unstoppable flight of time. In the maelstrom of its blind flux, he tries to filter what may give meaning to human life: the sheer or paradoxical beauty, whether it is familiar or exotic. He celebrates the discreet glittering of simple objects and people he meets: the hair of a stranger, the light of a mimosa in the winter, the brightness of a lemon. These reasoned moments temporarily resuscitate him from the misery of his existence as a more or less blind mortal.
