Walden Memories

"I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society"

J'ai eu le chance de me rendre au Fresnoy à Tourcoing, pour y voir cette splendide exposition.
Conçue par Jean-Fançois Peyret,  avec une scénographie et les images de Pierre Nouvel,
d'après Walden de Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
c'est une exposition pleine d'humanité, d'une grande sensiblité et de haute technologie.
C'est beau, intelligent, et contemplatif.        

"I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself. At night there was never a traveller passed my house, or knocked at my door, more than if I were the first or last man; unless it were in the spring, when at long intervals some came from the village to fish for pouts—they plainly fished much more in the Walden Pond of their own natures, and baited their hooks with darkness—but they soon retreated, usually with light baskets, and left "the world to darkness and to me," and the black kernel of the night was never profaned by any human neighborhood. I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark, though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced."
