This edition, printed in fifty copies, inaugurates the Collection "Booklets of the Night". It pays homage to the poet Marco Vitale and his beautiful poetry entitled: « The passage of the pages ». Elegant writing, the verses are polished and communicate a delicate nostalgia for the passing of time. The engraving by André Beuchat tends towards a vertical world where the pages (and our days) fly away. The lines, traced on copper, are both basic and essential, all in a tone that recalls water and vegetation. The white pages obtained with a copper embossing remind us of our emotions that come and go.
