And the last one.
The first page of a long didactic poem.
Too long to be read [INAUDIBLE] to be read tonight.
So it is the end of Recumbents but written 20 years ago.
So after this book, I published about 10 books.
But so in 20 years, we'll meet again and I read.
Aide-mémoire.
Ce qui a lieu d'être, ne va pas sans dire.
Ce qu'on ne peut pas dire, il faut l'écrire.
La partie donne sur le tout, qui donne la partie.
Savoir à quoi ça ressemble, c'est notre savoir non absolu.
Il faut de la semblance pour faire de la contiguïté.
Le poème est des choses prochaines qu'il faut aller chercher.
La comparaison entretient l'incomparable,
la distinction des choses entre elles.
Poésie interdit l'identification.
Pour la douceur du comme rigoureuse.
Commun comme-un,
c'est tout comme faire comme si c'était comme un.
But in fact, this--
I observed that this two last ones
are absolutely untranslatable because I have
written I disjoined, decompose.
Yeah.
Right.
Disjoint.
[SPEAKING FRENCH] So Wilson writes community but come
is a French word, so it doesn't work.
Yeah.
The idea is that this is a French word poem.
Good translation but doesn't work.
[LAUGHTER]
"'Memorandum.'
What has grounds to be Goes not without saying.
What one cannot say, writing it is necessary.
The part gives onto the whole, which gives the part.
Knowing what it resembles is our knowledge.
Non-absolute.
Semblance is necessary to make contiguity.
The poem is of things nearby that one must go seek.
Comparison looks after the incomparable.
The distinction of things among themselves.
Poetry forbids identification, for the sweetness,
rigorous of the like.
Community?
Come, unity amounts to the same.
To act as though it were a community."
