Abstract: This poem was written at the death of the author’s father. She kept coming back to it. The titles of the three parts are taken from the construction of the Cosmography of the medieval philosopher Bernard Silvestre to which are associated subtitles related for the intimate: to life, illness and death, for the general: to nature, to the stars and to the spirit. Poetry alone can translate what is beyond us and that we ignore, what we see only in depth as being below the shared knowledge.
