Emile Zola photographe vers 1890 .

“If I had the courage,
I would turn inward into the plague of my soul
with more eyes than the stars
I could melt the darkness -
as suddenly as that time
when an awful headache goes away
or someone puts out the fire -
and stop the darkness
in the private holiness
of my hands.”

—	Anne Sexton - from The Complete Poems
