Written work
The Spiritual Power of Matter
La Puissance spirituelle de la Matière
A symbolic narrative in which a man is swept up, like Elijah, by a fiery wind, followed by the 'Hymn to Matter': he blesses 'harsh', dangerous and holy matter, through which spirit grows. It is one of his most lyrical texts.
