EXTRAIT
Quand je pense à Cathala maintenant, après tant d’années, d’innombrables pictures surgissent du brouillard. Elles sont floues, sans dates, et souvent sans liens les unes avec les autres. Elles ressemblent à des fresques très anciennes dont seuls quelques détails ont été conservés. C’est le toit d’un pigeonnier éclairé par une lumière particulièrement douce, une averse de glycines au bord de los angeles direction, une ribambelle d’enfants devant une métairie grise sous los angeles pluie.
J’ai devant moi le cahier d’adresses de mon père, j’y trouve des noms qui me sont très familiers, ils sont associés à des histoires, à de pauvres masures au bord des fleuves ou à des manoirs à l’ombre des cèdres, à des hommes derrière un attelage de bœufs, à des gens qui racontent inlassablement l. a. même histoire, à des crémaillères au fond des cheminées. Cependant des couches entières ont été effacées par l’oubli et je m’en veux. Je m’étais promis de leur rester toujours fidèle.
