Between grief and nothing, I will take grief

Patricia : Tu connais William Faulkner ?
Michel : Non…, qui est-ce ? Tu as couché avec lui ?
Patricia : Mais non, mon coco.
Michel : Alors je me fous de lui… Enlève ton jersey.
Patricia : C’est un romancier que j’aime bien. Tu as lu Les Palmes sauvages ?
Michel : Je te dis que non… Enlève ton chandail.
Patricia : Écoute. La dernière phrase, c’est très beau : « Between grief and nothing. I will take grief. » Entre le chagrin et le néant, je choisis le chagrin… Et toi, tu choisirais quoi ?
Michel : Le chagrin, c’est idiot. Je choisis le néant. C’est pas mieux, mais le chagrin, c’est un compromis. Faut tout ou rien.

 

Patricia cite la dernière phrase de l’avant-dernier chapitre de  If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem de Faulkner, d’abord publié sous le titre The Wild Palms (Les Palmiers sauvages) ; on peut voir le livre sur la table de nuit de Patricia dans sa chambre de l’hôtel de Suède.

Love

No drama so perilous or magnetic No detail can make our love pathetic

“Notre histoire est noble et tragique

Comme le masque d’un tyran

Nul drame hasardeux ou magique

Aucun détail indifférent

Ne rend notre amour pathétique”

(Apollinaire, “Cors de chasse“)
