La première fois que je suis devenu fou(le)
The first time I went crowdzy

“Je pénétrais dans un champ de conscience qui m’étais jusqu’alors interdit ou caché et je n’y reconnaissais rien. Je me suis dit, ou plutôt cela s’est dit à travers moi : Ma folie est le dernier rempart entre moi et une liberté totale. Qui cédera le premier ? Le rempart ? Moi ? Ou la Liberté ?”

“I was entering a field of consciousness which had so far remained forbidden or hidden, and I couldn’t recognize a thing there. I told myself, or rather it told itself through me: My madness is the last remaining battlement separating me from total freedom. Which will give in first: the battlement? Me? Or Freedom?”
