Butor‘s text: "Pluie sur les frontières", 1985

O pluie, efface pour nous ces frontières, lave nos continents de ces zébrures doucereusements infligées par le fouet diplomatique d‘aimables forcenés lors de palabres dans les pavillons à pendeloques et marqueteries; emporte-nous dans ton immense babil, dans ton tranquille galop menu jusqu‘à ces tracée sur une carte....

Emile Habibi, Francoise Schein et Michel Butor le jour de l'inauguration à Haïfa
