TABLE DES MATIÈRES
A lyrical meditation unfolds as the narrator, drifting on a sun‑warmed shore, is drawn into a deep dialogue with an imagined companion, Storge. In this opening epistle the author probes the restless urge to “situate” everything—space, time, thought—within a single, trembling moment of consciousness. The prose‑poetry weaves modern scientific hints with timeless questions of love, anxiety and the invisible threads that bind all movement, inviting listeners to feel the pulse of a world that is both solid and boundless.
The work then expands into four richly symbolic poems that examine the same theme from the angles of biology, mysticism, hermetic tradition and Pythagorean thought. Through vivid imagery and philosophical wonder, each piece daringly bridges the material and the spiritual, urging the ear to trace the hidden geometry of existence. The result is a contemplative journey that lingers long after the final line, offering a fresh perspective on the age‑old quest to locate ourselves within the cosmos.
