This book: [1] gives a far longer quote than that in most sources ('Mon secret désir m'a poussé vers ces épées de feu, ces brusques étoiles, ces coulées de lave bleu-orange, ces planètes de turquoise, ces violets, ces grenats d'arborescences chevelus, ces tournoisements de sons et de coleurs en fouillis d'arc-en-ciel.') ... why?
