Title : Winter Suns - Notebooks 1998 - 2000 - Jean Daniel - book
Summary :
The winter sun has always been a promise for me, for some time now my preference has been for convalescences, for escapes from hell, for promises of light in the rain, for children laughing through their tears, for the looks of the seriously injured person who is suddenly miraculously cured, for the irreplaceable doctor who dies while signaling to you that nothing is wrong and to whom you close your eyes, feeling indeed reassured. Gide discovering late in life that his youth was covered with wrinkles assiduously traced by his parents and that at the very moment of his old age, it is his true youth that is about to begin. Winter suns, these beatitudes in fresh water caressed wave after wave, as if it were to be the last. The unbeliever capable of giving thanks and, in the midst of this ocean of distress and tears, the euphoria of the researcher who discovers in the reality of the universe the planet that his calculations had only deduced. As a young man, I sang of summer's splendor, from the bays of Carthage to the magic of the Tuscan archipelago. Today, only the winter suns restore to me the intensity of fleeting dawns.
