Quote by Pierre Péju

“come, ancient and unchanging night Night, born as dethroned king, Night, internally equal to silence, Night. With sequins of volatile starlight Woven on your robe with infinity Come quietly Come fleet-footed Come alone.”

“At the same time all the houses round about promptly took part in this silence, and so did the darkness above them, reaching as far as the stars.
