Résumé
--
With the caution of a dandy, Musset steers clear of capitalized ideals - Politics, Learning, Philosophy, Religion, even Literature - because he knows that the events of 1793 and 1814 placed humanity in a wasteland. The bitter truth is not to be trumpeted it is uttered 'mezza voce' with a conventional degree of casualness. A stubborn grace. For even in disaster there remains a tiny, precarious spark itself sustained by the disillusion that reigns here: love. That is to say, 'next to nothing' - upon which Musset takes the risk of constructing everything: his life as well as his work. Musset's 'next-to-nothing' still has much to teach us, about the ambiguous presence within us of emptiness and absence, about how we love, what we expect from books, our relationship with ideals that continue to work on us after their eviction. In the context of the investigation into the links between literature and spirituality, which we have been conducting on behalf of Editions du Cerf since 2001, the exercise in reading offered by Musset leads us into a somewhat spellbinding spiritual zone, where the deepest disillusion unexpectedly encounters an instinctive form of hope.
