Excerpt from Les Heures de l'Acropole
Les Grecs ont personnifie' dans tes Heures ca marche régulière et la tranquille respiration du temps. Elles donnent à la durée son visage de justice; elles en tempêrent la nécessité par la grâce elles exhalent la santé de l'ordre. Elles regoivent dans Hésiode les noms d'eunomia, de Dieà, d 'eirênê, la règle, la justice et la paix. Ce qui se pre'cipite avec une aveugle fi1reur, l'impatience de jouir, l'âpreté injurieuse exister, voilà le péché contre les Heures. Chez un Barbare avide, le romain Marius, Plutarque, instruit par la sagesse delphique, reconnaît la çcàapxîa äwpoç, l'ambition qui les ignore. Si je ne voulais dire dans ce livre que mes Heures sur l'âcropole, ne déroberais - je pas d'équitables déesses leur titre pour en couvrir la plus fragile fantaisie?
