Poetry

Interrogé par Alpha 60, Lemmy Caution cite Pascal, Nietzsche (Le Gai Savoir) et Bergson :

 

Vous arrivez des pays extérieurs : qu’avez-vous éprouvé en traversant les espaces galaxiques ?

— Le silence de ces espaces infinis m’a… m’a effrayé.

— Quel est le privilège des morts ?

— Ne plus mourir.

— Savez-vous ce qui transforme la nuit en lumière ?

— La poésie.

— Quelle est votre religion ?

— Je crois aux données immédiates de la conscience.

Alphaville (1965)
