in front of election posters

ECHOS

In front of the dead posters...

There are many people who still read election posters that are now obsolete, faded and ridiculous...

It's a very curious and instructive thing to read. You get a sense of the vanity of things, the vanity of asserting certainty, the vanity of great hopes...

And the illusion-maker that is politics shows its true face... However, on top of these already faded placards, other placards are affixed, new and fresh, enticing, for this or that advertisement. You look, you read, and the mirage begins again. On the dead election poster a living poster blossoms again...

That's it: life and death lead the dance, holding hands. And we are the dancers, or the puppets...
