註釋

Here is the first "chapter," more or less, of Exchanges on Light (Echanges de la Lumiere). The whole, which is 85 pages in the original French publication, takes place in six nights; you have here the "events" of the first night. On each of these six nights, six people come together to discuss, in the manner of an 18th century philosophical dialogue, the nature and essence of light. Their discussions are sometimes scientific, sometimes theological, sometimes rhetoric, sometimes lovely nonsense. Some of the characters' speech breaks, at times, into poems. The piece is thus many things at once: philosophical meandering, poetry, dialogue; and so the genre proves difficult to pin down. --Jacques Roubaud, Preface.
