Paul Cézanne

L'Estaque

I'll hold the world in one hand.

I will be able to touch it entirely, were it the last thing I do.

With decisive steps I walk along the edges, I walk the corners, I turn between the faces. All mine, as always.

The leaves, the rocks, enter my pockets and keep me company as I whistle.

The sea closes in an ampoule, which, tied to my belt, follows me.

The island is like that pebble that helps me while I cross the river.

The air is the tireless wind that follows my walk.
