Billie nous livre avec une grande sincérité les poèmes sublimes et pleins de vie de son arrière-grand-mère. Composé à plus de 80 ans par Andrée Chedid, Rythmes apparaît pourtant comme un livre de jeunesse, tant il manifeste une capacité d'étonnement et d'émerveillement devant la vie et ses métamorphoses, tant il fait montre, en dépit d'une lucidité sans compromis sur les faiblesses, travers et failles de l'humain, d'un optimisme obstiné, vigoureux, sans cesse renaissant.

… Un morto, che pure è un morto, caro mio, vuole anche lui la sua casa. E se è un morto per bene, bella la vuole; e ha ragione! Da starci comodo, e di marmo la vuole, e decorata anche. E se poi è un morto che può spendere, la vuole anche con qualche profonda… come si dice? allegoria, già!, con qualche profonda allegoria d’un grande scultore come me: una bella lapide latina: HIC JACET… chi fu, chi non fu… un bel giardinetto attorno, con l’insalatina e tutto...

Está en la sala familiar, sombría, y entre nosotros, el querido hermano que en el sueño infantil de un claro día vimos partir hacia un país lejano. Hoy tiene ya las sienes plateadas, un gris mechón sobre la angosta frente; y la fría inquietud de sus miradas revela un alma casi toda ausente.

My poetry is about catching a glimpse of a doorway to another world, there is a sense of a spiritual yearning to know that place and to connect with it. It lies beneath or throughout our world and pulling it into concrete form is not an easy task but it is a gift to me when it happens. It creates something I love. I touch this world in landscape and in nature and sometimes in a particular place like in the Rock of Dunamase. If you have travelled in Ireland, you will know some of these landscapes and their temperaments well.
