About This Book

The collection assembles narrative and lyrical poems that portray humanity across epochs, arranging episodic scenes—mythic origins, medieval legends, religious and historical moments—into a poetic gallery. Each piece offers a concentrated portrait of a century or cultural mood, alternating legendary reconstruction and strict historical fidelity, unified by an overarching idea of human progress and ascent toward light. Imagery mixes human figures with natural and inanimate presences to explore moral, spiritual, and social transformation, while the series functions as both a self-contained volume and the first segment of a larger envisioned cycle.

MAHOMET


Le divin Mahomet enfourchait tour à tour
Son mulet Daïdol et son âne Yafour;
Car le sage lui-même a, selon l’occurrence,
Son jour d’entêtement et son jour d’ignorance.
