In the second stage, the body is the skin, and the skin is the man. It is kept hidden. It is the secret of each person. Grand Peaussu and petite peau are the top and the bottom of the hierarchy. Whoever shows his skin is immediately flayed. We receive in the dark room, and the one we want to honor, we advance towards him saying: Touch, it is indeed me…

The states of the body , which echoes Bernard Noël's first book, Extracts from the body , is a way of returning to one's primary concerns: The body is a quarry of words, and its explorations ensure that, there, under the skin, there is enough to remake language.

He still questions this body by excerpts , by states : in eleven time, which are so many fragments of his unspoken legend. From the first words, it is always the body that speaks: At the beginning, the body is open like a yes. How sweet! But it forgets itself there...

For all of Bernard Noël's poetic work is embodied in the mystery of language, its production by the body: anatomy and poetry constantly come together. This precise and striking prose is not lacking and, starting from the skin, envelops the story. In a few pages, everything is there.
