Excerpt from La Mer Et les Poètes Anglais
Leur histoire, si modestement qu'on l'envisage comme ici, ne se présente plus aux regards comme un système déterminé, où les oeuvres évoluent et se succèdent en décrivant des courbes dont les auda cieux pourraient presque calculer les éléments. C'est plutôt une vision de grand ciel étoilé, avec ses astres innombrables, réunis arbitrairement, pour la commodité des études, en constellations, mais sur l'ordre profond et la raison desquels nous savons fort peu de chose, sauf la distance infinie qui sépare quelques - uns d'entre eux de notre petit univers.
