... La vie se tait partout, en un froid sommeil qui ressemble � la mort; m�me les b�tes de nuit ont fini de r�der et sont all�es dormir. Dehors, personne. Les laboureurs et les bergers, qui pourtant se l�vent avant l'aube, sont blottis pour des heures encore sous les toits des hameaux. Seuls peut-�tre, par les chemins, circulant dans le grand silence, trouverait-on les hommes que tient �veill�s l'amour ou le vagabondage, - ou encore, en ce pays-ci, la contrebande. Sur la route o� je marche, la lumi�re palpitante des �toiles semble tomber en pluie de phosphore. Et cette route, s�che et durcie, r�sonne, vibre comme si le sol �tait creux sous mes pas. D'ailleurs, je marche, je marche sans m'en apercevoir, tant est vivifiant cet air de la nuit; mes jambes, dirait-on, vont d'elles-m�mes, comme feraient des ressorts une fois pour toutes remont�s, dont le mouvement ne donnerait plus aucune peine...
