I have lived with Francine too little, too little...
Science has prevented me from living.
Of course I shall continue to live and to think
but now I shall close my eyes;
I shall close my ears;
I shall extinguish my senses.
I wish to erase from my thoughts all images of corporeal things
and to spend time with, only with myself, and to live within my heart.
And perhaps, searching within myself,
I will succeed little by little in calming the pain of these days.
I will prove to myself that a being, a soul that thinks,
also doubts, affirms, negates,
knows few things, and is ignorant of many,
loves, hates, wants, stops wanting, remembers, imagines, feels.
I shall try, through my pain, to extend my knowledge,
I shall carefully consider whether I can still discover within myself
some other being I have not up to this moment perceived.
I have the certainty of being a reality that thinks
but whence does this certainty come?
