Jean Cocteau's House
"(...) in this peaceful countryside and house which loves me and in which now, in March 1947, I reside alone after a long, long wait."
"The house was waiting for me. I live in the cottage, a long way away from the bells of the Palais-Royal. It provides me with an example of the magnificent absurd stubbornness of plants. Here I rediscover memories of the countryside where long ago I dreamt of Paris, just like later I would again dream of Paris and of escaping it. Water from the drainage ditches reflect the sun and splash the walls of my room with marble-like shimmers. Spring rejoices everywhere."
Jean Cocteau - La Difficulté d’être (The Difficulty of Being)
