A reverie on water, air, or earth, this secret text (only fifty copies were published during Yourcenar's lifetime) transforms into a profound alchemical meditation under the sign of the elements. From a mineral landscape where man finds little space, the contours of Mount Desert Island emerge. And the writing, which draws the essential with a line, a branch, or the wind, gives us the key to Marguerite Yourcenar's ecological commitments: written in a garden has the value of a manifesto.
