About this title

Synopsis

"Palmes... ! Alors on te baignait dans l'eau-de-feuilles-vertes ; et l'eau encore �tait du soleil vert ; et les servantes de ta m�re, grandes filles luisantes, remuaient leurs jambes chaudes pr�s de toi qui tremblais... (Je parle d'une haute condition, alors, entre les robes, au r�gne de tournantes clart�s.) Palmes ! et la douceur d'une vieillesse des racines... ! La terre alors souhaita d'�tre plus sourde, et le ciel plus profond, o� des arbres trop grands, las d'un obscur dessein, nouaient un pacte inextricable... (J'ai fait ce songe, dans l'estime : un s�r s�jour entre les toiles enthousiastes.)" (extrait de Pour f�ter une enfance).
