À distance

by Henri Michaux

"Par les cheveux de l'âme, il la tenait pendant qu'elle agitait en elle-même de vains projets de résistance, qu'elle se débattait en vains mouvements, en vains retours, en vains délacements, glissant malgré elle, glissant déjà presque tout entière suspendue, sans appui, au-dessus de la fosse du désir partagé."Henri Michaux.

About the author

Henri Michaux was a highly idiosyncratic Belgian poet, writer and painter who wrote in the French language. Michaux is best known for his esoteric books written in a highly accessible style, and his body of work includes poetry, travelogues, and art criticism. Michaux travelled widely, tried his hand at several careers, and experimented with drugs, the latter resulting in two of his most intriguing works, Miserable Miracle and The Major Ordeals of the Mind and the Countless Minor Ones.
