A few letters, and a star.

The one that Jean signed his admirable missives to his “Dear Coco”.

The one that Mademoiselle sent him in return for his Immortal’s Sword [a ceremonial sword awarded by the Académie Française], in the centre of a lyre, “a little absinthe star fallen from the sky of our friendship”, he wrote to her. This star was an emerald, and it watched us.

In “Testament of Orpheus”, the eye plays an important role, as does knowing how to see. With all one’s soul. For Cocteau, only the invisible can really be seen.

Now close your eyes, then open them wide. So that you can finally, as Cocteau says in “Testament of Orpheus”, “dream the same dream together”. In this place of shadow and light.
