A faint smell in the  air . the  lumière  changes, seems to take on a sharper, banded linearity...  Abbassid  as if he could tell which was he was going just by checking his path against these lines of  lumière . Polarized  lumière  guides him the last few miles.     J'ai envoyé par aéroplane et par bateau à contre-courant de la retraite, pour arriver à la tombe d'Ezra, le portier du Jardin d'Eden.
