Citation

 
"Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back."

Samuel Beckett, Krapp's last tape (1958)

    Perhaps your best years are ahead...?

    Hence the "perhaps". And Krapp was, by his last tape, at the end of his tether.

    L'Histoire ne peut être écrite que par un autre que nous-même. Et toujours a posteriori.

    L'Histoire est Récit. Sinon, elle ne serait ni "Existence" ni "Vita Activa" avant même que de naître (de n'être ?).

    La vie n'est pas récit.
    La vie est un "chant" des possibles qui sussure à nos oreilles un air d'aventure et de liberté, d'inconnu et de découvertes inattendues !

    "Perhaps"... quelle doux questionnement !
