l'explicit de "Tobie des marais" de Sylvie Germain
"Une dernière fois Tobie s'offre en corps de substitution, en corps de totale compassion ; non plus pour une lutte, son père n'est plus en guerre avec le monde, il a rendu les armes. Tobie a compris que Théodore est en train de prodiguer ses adieux à ce monde en dansant jusqu'au vertige, plus léger et splendide à chaque nouvelle valse. Il pose sa joue contre l'épaule de son père, et il rit. Il rit pour chasser toute envie de crier, de pleurer, de juger. Il rit au diapason de la valse, avec allant et grâce.

chess pieces of the British Museum
A hoard of 78 pieces was found in 1831
in the parish of Uig on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides in what was
described as a 'subterranean' chamber. Eleven pieces from the same find are in
the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland in Edinburgh. From the pieces it
is clear that the hoard was not made up of a number of complete sets, and as
none of the carving is incomplete, a workshop hoard is most unlikely. Perhaps
they formed part of the stock of a merchant ship wrecked on the shores of the
island, subsequently hidden and not recovered. The pieces show virtually
no signs of wear.
The form of the chessmen and the decoration on the back of the thrones on which the kings, queens and some of the bishops are seated, have led to pieces being dated from the middle to the end of the 12th century and to their being attributed to either Britain or Scandinavia. It is difficult to find a parallel for the figure style, except in other gaming pieces, and even amongst these the Lewis pieces are more stylized and rigid than any others that survive. It is unlikely that they were carved later than the middle of the century, unless they were produced in a very remote centre, but their very high quality and especially the subtlety of their decorative carving would not support this. They belong to a group of carvings whose style is found in both Scandinavia and East Anglia: at, for example, Lund Cathedral and Ely Abbey, regions that were linked by trading and by political and close ecclesiastical contacts. The actual carving of such pieces of walrus ivory could have been carried on either side of the North Sea. The British Museum
