L'été

"For the moment, at least, the incessant birthing of waves upon the sand came to me through a space dancing with golden pollen. Sea, countryside, silence, perfumes of this earth, I filled myself with their odorous life and sank my teeth deeply into the already-golden fruit of the world, overwhelmed by the taste of its sweet, strong juice running down my lips. No, it was neither I nor the world that counted, only the harmony and the silence that enabled love to be born between us. A love that I was not foolish enough to claim just for myself, for I was aware and proud of sharing it with an entire race, born of the sun and of the sea, a vigorous and life-loving race, which draws its greatness from its simplicity and, standing on the beaches, offers a smile of complicity to the brilliant smile of its skies."

Excerpt from Noces suivi de L’Été by Albert Camus, 1954.
