may '68 was not a revolution, because it's actors were young enough, and knew, that the tragical-political terror is only an effect, and that horror (its true name) repeats the immemorial terror in which the mind has been dispossessed. they did not want, in their acts, to repeat the terror, born of the thing, but to invoke it through their gesture, as poets.

we knew that freedom is poetry,
so we became poets.
