The Beautiful Gown

The one we love, she appears before us undressed. She is in a light dress, like those that once flourished on Sundays on church porches and the parquets of ballrooms. And yet she is naked - like a star at the breaking of day. Seeing you there, a clearing opened in my eyes. To see that white dress, as white as blue sky.
By looking to the essential, the purity of the world is reborn.
Christian Bobin
