Voltaire. And a third? Voltaire. And a fourth? Voltaire. VOLTAIRE AND A THIRD VOLTAIRE AND A FOURTH VOLTAIRE
ible, the bow moves, and the pot boils. If it's not glory, well, it's food. ME: In your place, I wouldn't assume it's all said and done with. I'd make an attempt. HIM: And you think I haven't tried. I wasn't fifteen years old when I first said to myself, "What are you up to, Rameau? You're dreaming. And what are you dreaming about? That you'd like to have done or do something which excites the admiration of the universe. Well, then, you just have to blow on your fingers and wiggle them. Just get started, and you'll be there." At a more advanced age, I repeated what I'd said to myself in my childhood. Today, I'm still repeating it, and I'm standing by the statue of Memnon. ME: What do you mean talking about the statue of Memnon? HIM: That's obvious enough, it seems to me. Around the statue of Memnon there were numberless other statues which the sun's rays struck just as much, but Memnon's statue was the only one which produced a sound. Who's a poet? Well, there's Voltaire. And who else? LACK THE FIBRE BUT MY WRIST IS FLEXIBLE THE BOW MOVES AND THE POT BOILS IF IT'S NOT GLORY WELL IT'S FOO ME IN YOUR PLACE I WOULDN'T ASSUME IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE WITH I'D MAKE AN ATTEMPT HIM AND YOU THINK I HAVEN'T TRIED I WASN'T FIFTEEN YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST SAID TO MYSELF WHAT ARE YOU UP TO RAMEAU YOU'RE DREAMING AND WHAT ARE YOU DREAMING ABOUT THAT YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE DONE OR TO DO SOMETHING WHICH EXCITES THE ADMIRATION OF THE UNIVERSE WELL THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO BLOW ON YOUR FINGERS AND WIGGLE THEM JUST GET STARTED AND YOU'LL BE THERE AT A MORE ADVANCED AGE I'VE REPEATED WHAT I'D SAID TO MYSELF IN MY CHILDHOOD TO DAY I'M STILL REPEATING IT AND I'M STANDING BY THE STATUE OF MEMNON ME WHAT DO YOU MEAN TALKING ABOUT THE STATUE OF MEMNON HIM THAT'S OBVIOUS ENOUGH IT SEEMS TO ME AROUND THE STATUE OF MEMNON THERE WERE NUMBERLESS OTHER STATUES WHICH THE SUN'S RAYS STRUCK JUST AS MUCH BUT MEMNON'S STATUE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHICH PRODUCED A SOUND WHO'S A POET WELL THERE'S VOLTAIRE AND WHO ELSE
