"Anything you like. Have you any preferences? My flight from Chaos to
this small sudden island in the sea of night? My meditations upon the abyss?
The revelation of the Pattern in a jewel round the neck of a unicorn? My
transcription of the design by lightning, blood, and lyre while our fathers
raged baffled, too late come to call me back while the poem of fire ran that
first route in my brain, infecting me with the will to form? Too late! Too
late... Possessed of the abominations born of the disease, beyond their aid,
their power, I planned and built, captive of my new self. Is that the tale
you'd hear again? Or rather I tell you of its cure?"
(The Hand of Oberon, chapter five- The Great Book of Amber, p.405)
Et un passage même page qui éclaire la fin de la citation:
"I am the Pattern," he said, "in a very real sense. In passing through
my mind to achieve the form it now holds, the foundation of Amber, it marked
me as surely as I marked it. I realized one day that I am both the Pattern
and myself, and it was forced to become Dworkin in the process of becoming
itself. There were mutual modifications in the birthing of this place and
this time, and therein lay our weakness as well as our strength. For it
occured to me that damage to the Pattern would be damage to myself, and
damage to myself would be reflected within the Pattern. Yet I could not be
truly harmed because the Pattern protects me, and who but I could harm the
Pattern? A beautiful closed system, it seemed, its weakness totally shielded
by its strength."
La suite est également très intéressante, mais s'écarte du sujet et à ce
compte je pourrais aussi bien recopier tout le cycle, ce qui n'est pas une
bonne idée.
Bonne nuit,
