Poster for an exhibition of engravings at the National Library of Paris.
In our common quarters, with the laborers and fruit-stand venders who are my neighbors, there is nothing for me to do but stretch on my bed and, turning inward, reflect about myself. What else? I am weighed down by my dreams. A square, empty room. In a corner a single bed, and me on top of it.
It is dark.
C. P. C. R., p. 80
