Résumé
--
"In "Les Mots", Sartre tells the story of a madman, imprisoned in the Parisian mental hospital, Sainte-Anne. He's lying in his bed, yelling that he is the prince, giving orders for the arrest of the Grand Duke. The nurses draw near him and whisper in his ear that he ought to blow his nose. Then they ask him his trade. He says he's a cobbler. His voice grows calm for a moment but he begins to shout again, he thinks he's the prince. Sartre ends the anecdote by saying that we are all like that man, eternal cobblers who dream of being princes. Bit here's another story in the same vein: A writer is alone in a room. Darkness gathers around him. Where it comes from, we do not know. Is it because of the old man's failing eyesight, or the solitude to which all great works are condemned by those who survive them, or the misunderstandings that surround a philosophy that's too mobile and intractable? In any case, the pathetic figure begins to murmur: "I am the Devil". We take a closer look, we are a little afraid. We ask: "Who's there?". Have our eyes grown accustomed to the darkness or did a light go on just then? We don't know, but now we see a cheerful-looking man. It is Jean-Paul Sartre, the man who wanted to dream of being the Devil.""
