This first book of the collection "Les Cahiers mystiques" presents a quotationof Jean de la Croix and an etching / drypoint of Andr. Beuchat. If the theme is common - the link between the soul and the goods of the earth - the presentation, in its central page, is diametrically opposed: the typographic order and the chalcographic disorder, the geometrical composition of the writing and the exuberant richness of intriguing (and fascinating) chaos of the etching. Checks and balances on paper, where every detail is accurate.
