RETURN TO REASON
FOUR FILMS BY MAN RAY
MUSIC BY SQÜRL
ONE
THE STARFISH
A POEM BY ROBERT DESNOS
AS SEEN BY MAN RAY
Women’s teeth
are objects so charming…
…that one ought
to see them
only in a dream
or in the instant of love.
Farewell
Si belle! Cibèle?
We are forever lost
in the desert of eter-darkness.
How beautiful she is
After all
if flowers were made of glass
"beautiful, beautiful like
a flowers of glass"
"beautiful like
a flower of flesh"
You must beat the dead
while they are cold.
The walls of la Santé.
And if you find on this earth
a woman whose love is sincere…
"beautiful like
a flower of fire"
The sun, one foot
in the stirrup,
nestles a nightingale
in a veil of crepe.
You are not dreaming
"how beautiful she was"
"how beautiful she is"
beautiful

EMAK-BAKIA [LEAVE ME ALONE]
cinepoeme
BY MAN RAY
PARIS 1926
The reason for this extravagance
THREE THE RETURN TO REASON
FOUR
MYSTERIES OF THE CASTLE OF THE DICE
TO THE VISCOUNTESS OF NOAILLES
I DEDICATE THESE PICTURES
WHICH CAN NEVER REVEAL
THE EXTENT OF HER KINDNESS
AND CHARM. MAN RAY
HOW TWO TRAVELLERS ARRIVED
IN SAINT-BERNARD,
AND WHAT THEY SAW
IN THE RUINS OF AN OLD CASTLE
ABOVE WHICH STANDS
ANOTHER CASTLE OF OUR TIME.
THE TRAVELLERS:
MAN RAY, J.-A. BOIFFARD
"A throw of dice
never will abolish chance."
Far from here, in Paris.
"Are we leaving?"
"We are not leaving."
"We are leaving!"
Where are we going?
The gates of Paris open
onto the unknown…
…at full speed,
up hill and down dale,
across France.
Prestigious,
as if marked by the seal
of a strange destiny,
a castle…
Star of the day.
The intruder.
No one.
No one, NO ONE!
The secrets of painting.
Then resounded
for the first time
in these rooms,
this question,
this human question:
"Where are we?"
"Let’s get out of here."
And so the night came.
But upon daybreak.
Unusual,
left in a forgotten corner:
"A throw of dice…
…never will abolish…
…CHANCE."
"Are there ghosts of deeds?
...Ghosts of our past deeds?
Have the minutes that we lived
left a tangible trace
in the air and on the earth?
The Woman…the juggler.
Eve undersea.
The deities of white water
Let their hair flow.
Screening-pool.
MENE - TEKEL - PARSIN
Do you regret the time
when the sky upon the earth
Used to walk and breathe
amongst a people of Gods,
Where Venus Astarte,
daughter of the bitter wave…
Helmeted Minerva.
Go ahead, you must follow
That beautiful shadow that you want
O! Sleep, O! Sun, my life
will be subjected to your laws
And I will close my eyes
once you disappear
Beautiful star of love,
beautiful star of inebriation…
This was when two travellers
arrived in this place.
They went up
onto the terraces.
Two travellers
who were looking for…
Two travellers who stayed?
Two travellers
who didn’t stay?
Two travellers who stayed.
…"But when
the second night came"…
…WHO STAYED.
THE END
