François Cheng’s meditation is situated between two ends: beauty and evil, the largest framework in terms of ethics. His poetry is both modern and heir of Chinese tradition as well as western orphism. This poetry implicates a passage through nothingness, which is essential to the discovery of worlds’ secrets. Afterthat, the poet reveals these « passwords », in order to help men live. In other words, with François Cheng, opus and man merge together; esthetic, ethic and spirituality are for him the same thing.
