Comte de Lautréamont citáty

Comte de Lautréamont, vlastným menom Isidore Lucien Ducasse bol francúzsky básnik, predchodca a vzor dadaistov a surrealistov.

Vychádzal zo slohových konvencií 18. storočia a z romantického satanizmu anglických a nemeckých škôl. Pre svoje individualistické revoltujúce dielo si zvolil formu básne v próze a naplnil ju sarkastickým absurdnom, čiernym humorom, sebairóniou a miestami aj paródiou romantických postupov.

Romantické zúfalstvo jedinca dovádza do krajného pocitu absurdna a dekadentného nihilizmu. Jeho dielo sa vyznačuje zdanlivo zbesilou fantáziou a rozumom nekontrolovanou tvorivou metódou.

Poésies I (1870)

“There are those whose purpose in writing is, by means of the noble qualities of heart which their imagination invents or which they themselves may have, to seek the plaudits of other human beings. For my part, I use my genius to depict the delights of cruelty: delights which are not transitory or artificial; but which began with man and will end with him. Cannot genius be allied with cruelty in the secret resolutions of Providence? Or can one, being cruel, not have genius?”

Les Chants de Maldoror

“God grant that the reader, emboldened and having become at present as fierce as what he is reading, find, without loss of bearings, his way, his wild and treacherous passage through the desolate swamps of these sombre, poison-soaked pages; for, unless he should bring to his reading a rigorous logic and a sustained mental effort at least as strong as his distrust, the lethal fumes of this book shall dissolve his soul as water does sugar.”

Les Chants de Maldoror, Canto 1 (1868)

“I hail you, old ocean! Old ocean, you are the symbol of identity: always equal unto yourself. In essence, you never change, and if somewhere your waves are enraged, farther off in some other zone they are in the most complete calm. You are not like man — who stops in the street to see two bulldogs seize each other by the scruff of the neck, but does not stop when a funeral passes. Man who in the morning is affable and in the evening ill-humoured. Who laughs today and weeps tomorrow. I hail you, old ocean!”

Comte de Lautréamont kniha Les Chants de Maldoror

Vieil océan, tu es le symbole de l'identité: toujours égal à toi-même. Tu ne varies pas d'une manière essentielle, et, si tes vagues sont quelque part en furie, plus loin, dans quelque autre zone, elles sont dans le calme le plus complet. Tu n'es pas comme l'homme, qui s'arrête dans la rue, pour voir deux boule-dogues s'empoigner au cou, mais, qui ne s'arrête pas, quand un enterrement passe; qui est ce matin accessible et ce soir de mauvaise humeur; qui rit aujourd'hui et pleure demain. Je te salue, vieil océan!
Les Chants de Maldoror (1972 ed.), p. 13.

“I will leave no memoirs.”
