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.

LES DERNIÈRES PAROLES DU LIVRE DE JEAN

Il fit beaucoup, n’ayant que peu de temps à vivre,
Et celui qui voudrait tout écrire en détail
Ne pourrait pas suffire à l’immense travail,
Et le monde serait trop étroit pour le livre.
