LXVIII
LE TESTAMENT D’AMOUR
Or, voyant venir Jean, il oublia le doute
Et dit, dans un sourire : « O Jean, tu me suffis. »
Et Marie arrivant avec Jean : « Frère, écoute :
Voici ta mère ; et toi, femme, voilà ton fils ! »
About This Book
A lyrical sequence of poetic scenes and meditations draws on Gospel episodes to portray the road to Emmaus, the nativity, humble shepherds, an inhospitable inn and the visit of distant sages. The poems shift between narrated encounters and prayerful reflection, exploring doubt, yearning and the felt presence of a veiled but guiding divinity. Pastoral imagery and simple gifts underscore humility and compassion, while recurring motifs of resurrection, spiritual darkness and consolation frame a persistent desire for communion and moral guidance amid uncertainty.
