Michel de Montaigne


“You ask me why I loved him,”
Montaigne says.
“I don’t know.
All I can say is
" parce que c’était lui, parce que c’était moi.”
Because it was he, because it was I.

~~

Love to his soul gave eyes;
he knew things are not as they seem.
The dream is his real life;
the world around him is the dream.

~~
