The
dream dissipated, were one to recover one's
commonsense mood, the thing would be of but
mediocre import - 'tis the story of mental wrongdoing.
Everyone
knows very well and it offends no-one.
But
alas! one sometimes carries the
thing a little further.
What,
one dares wonder, what would not be the
idea's realization if its more abstract shape thus
exalted has just so profoundly moved one? The
accursed reverie is vivified and its existence is a crime.
D.A.F. DE SADE: Justine
It faut que le
roman raconte.
