About This Book

A poet offers a sequence of intimate prose vignettes that trace the arrival and early life of his daughter, blending domestic detail, religious devotion, and rich natural imagery. He frames these recollections with a dedication to the Virgin, tender fatherly observation, and meditations on guardian angels, birth rites, and neighborhood rhythms. Pastoral scenes of birds and flowers mingle with humble theological reflection, and the pieces alternate lyrical description and simple narrative to explore parenthood, faith, and the poetic imagination as they emerge from everyday moments.

L’ACTE DE NAISSANCE

L’an 1908 et le 19 août, dans l’anniversaire et presque à l’heure de la mort de Blaise Pascal, est née à Orthez ma fille Bernadette.

L’un des témoins à la mairie a été mon premier voisin François le savetier qui a un oiseau.
