THE LEWIS CARROLL WAY
:44:05
Poor pebble
:44:07
Ignored by architecture, sculpture,
mosaic and jewellery
:44:12
It dates from the beginning of the
planet, perhaps even from another star
:44:16
Warped by space, like the stigmata
of its terrible fall
:44:22
It pre-dates man. And man has not
embodied it in his art or industry
:44:29
He did not manufacture it
and thus decide its place
:44:34
The pebble perpetuates nothing more
than its own memory
:44:41
Obviously, minerals are neither
independent nor sensitive
:44:47
That's why it takes much to stir them
:44:50
The heat of a blowtorch, for instance,
or an electric arc...
:44:55
...earthquakes, volcanoes
or aeons of time
:45:00
Which way is Oinville?
:45:11
And I ask you what this is
:45:14
Grass
:45:16
No. Poa nemoralis
:45:18
Where's Oinville?
:45:21
And what is that?
:45:24
Chestnut
:45:26
No. Castanea sativa
:45:29
The start of a new day,
in the grey dawn...
:45:32
...vultures will take wing
to far shores...
:45:37
...flying soundlessly
in the name of order
:45:40
- Thank you, Mademoiselle
- Not at all, love
:45:42
We've been in an accident,
people are expecting us
:45:45
And I beg you to help me solve
this problem
:45:52
One. A kitten which likes fish
is a good pupil
:45:56
Two. No tailless kitten is ready
to play with a gorilla
