Présentation de l'éditeur
You cannot anticipate him. Blackbirds, overheard year by year, do not compose the same phrases ;never two leitmotifs alike. Not the tone, but the note alters. So with the uncovenated ways of a child you keep no tryst. They meet you at another place, after failing you where you tarried ;your former experiences, your documents are at fault. You are the fellow traveller of a bird. The bird alights and escapes out of time to your footing. No mans fancy could be beforehand, for instance, with a girl of four years old who dictated a letter to a distant cousin, with the sweet and unimaginable message: I hope you enjoy yourself with your loving dolls.
