Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Histoires Naturelles
La premi�re qu'il fait captive est celle du chemin qui montre ses os, cailloux polis, et ses orni�res, veines crev�es, entre deux haies riches de prunelles et de m�res. Il prend ensuite limage de la rivi�re. Elle blanchit aux coudes et dort sous la caresse des saules. Elle miroite quand un poisson tourne le ventre, comme si on jetait une pi�ce d'argent, et, d�s que tombe une pluie fine, la rivi�re a la chair de poule.
