To write! What good is a work, said Marcel Arland, if it cannot be confused with love, and if the song it sketches, while I am nearing my end, cannot rise from a more naked heart?
These few words admirably illustrate Philippe Jaccottet's talent, his demands, his
rigor and honesty of a lifetime devoted to poetry and the translation of the greatest.
During this conversation between a young man and a poet, we are allowed to glimpse the
very paths of poetic experience, the fragile beauty of the landscape, things and
their secrets, the apparent tranquility of words, the sovereign anxiety and resistance of the
World.
