ETOILE POLAIRE

"Comfortably settled at the mountain's summit, a little girl has just closed her books to fall asleep under the stars. Before sleep makes her close her eyes, she contemplates the celestial bodies and experiences that ineffable moment when the infinity of the universe is revealed. Often, it is by gazing at the depths of the heavens that we become aware of our place on this tiny earth, lost in the 'plurality of worlds' (Fontenelle).

While some may be frightened by the 'eternal silence of infinite spaces' (Pascal), the vertigo of the void gives way on this little girl's serene face to a feeling of plenitude that is nothing other than the feeling of simply existing."
