"Chère amie
On n`admire pas le tableaux de Raphael, on aime Raphael (odieux avec les papes - Sodoma etc...)
Non que je me compare à ce peintre - mais je voulais dire qu`une oeuvre qui ne donne pas d`amitié me semble absurde. Ou vous m`insultez pour de bon, c`est en croyant que je sourirais de votre pauvre poisson et de cet aquarium sans paradis (!?!?) alors que l`aquarium qu`il voyait dehors possède même un enfer (tout le confort moral).
Moi aussi je vous aime et votre visite m`a communiqué une force que vous avez dû croire une santé. De plus le premier soleil me fait `chanter dans les supplices`.
J`ai tant souffert (je ne parle pas de ma désintoxication), tant souffert de toute sorte que je pense calme comme un provincial pense à Paris.
J`arrive même à prendre l`air parisien.
Mais moi je ne me fâche pas d`être un autre que je ne suis. Rien ne peut me donner plus d`espoir. Surtout si c`est votre bel oeil terrible et orageux qui me juge. /
Envoyez le chapelet ou apportez-le moi Dimanche - très tôt nous serons tranquilles. J`espère m`en aller Lundi - Où ?
Votre - Jean le maladroit"
Translated:
"Dear friend,
One doesn't admire Raphael's paintings, one loves Raphael (odious with the popes - Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.).
Not that I compare myself to this painter - but I meant that a work that doesn't inspire friendship seems absurd to me. Or perhaps you're truly insulting me, believing I would smile at your poor fish and that aquarium devoid of paradise (!?!?) when the aquarium he saw outside even possesses a hell (complete moral comfort).
I love you too, and your visit gave me a strength you must have mistaken for health. Moreover, the first rays of sunshine make me `sing in my torments.`
I have suffered so much (I'm not talking about my detox), suffered so much of every kind, that I think calmly, like a provincial thinks about Paris.
I can even breathe in the Parisian air.
But I'm not angry about being someone other than myself. Nothing can give me more hope. Especially if it's your beautiful, terrible, stormy eye that judges me.
Send the rosary or bring it to me Sunday - we'll be safe very early. I hope to leave Monday - where to?
Yours, Clumsy Jean"
