Like many of his contemporaries, Bertrand confronts the question of doubt in Gaspard de la Nuit. Not satisfied with representing beings in the grip of uncertainty, he makes the reader experience it through structural, enunciative, and stylistic techniques, and turns faith into mockery in such a radical way that the value of poetry comes into question. But from this uncompromising passage through a crepuscular moment a new relationship to time and truth is born, vertiginous and fertile.
