Impeccably was the behavior of the farmers and peasant children of the (Greek) islands. I suspect, in the past, everyone was well behaved - Unfortunately, all the children of the rich are poorly educated. They have been taught this ... (J. Cocteau)

The doctors locked the patient in a small labyrinth in a snail-shape - he got lost and almost died of fright. The shock effect of the horror healed him (see psychosomatic etc. - d.48) - Votive inscriptions testify to these miraculous healings (in Epidaurus) - Je ne sais que ce que tu dis / De ce que tu dis dans tes songes / Souveraine des mensonges / Serpent de mon paradis ... (Plain-chant) - I will be falsified, insulted, slandered, dragged into the dirt throughout my life and after my death. Undoubtedly, I pay for my happiness, which I find in the peace and confidence of those who I love. You never pay too much for that. - The indestructibility of the myths - With them the falsities come true - while the story is true - which becomes false. - My youth respects my age - My age protects my youth. - That's why I do not do anything stupid ... (J. Cocteau)

Interpretation von dali48

Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau (1889 – 1963) was a French poet, novelist, dramatist, designer, playwright, artist and filmmaker. - His circle of associates, friends and lovers included Kenneth Anger, Pablo Picasso, Jean Hugo, Jean Marais, Henri Bernstein, Yul Brynner, Marlene Dietrich, Coco Chanel, Erik Satie, María Félix, Édith Piaf and Raymond Radiguet. - Cocteau was born in Maisons-Laffitte, Yvelines, a village near Paris, to Georges Cocteau and his wife, Eugénie Lecomte; a socially prominent Parisian family. His father was a lawyer and amateur painter who committed suicide when Cocteau was nine. He left home at fifteen. He published his first volume of poems, Aladdin's Lamp, at nineteen. - In his early twenties, Cocteau became associated with the writers Marcel Proust, André Gide, and Maurice Barrès. In 1912, he collaborated with Léon Bakst on Le Dieu bleu for the Ballets Russes;t he principal dancers being Tamara Karsavina and Vaslav Nijinsky. - During World War I Cocteau served in the Red Cross as an ambulance driver. This was the period in which he met the poet Guillaume Apollinaire, artists Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani, and numerous other writers and artists with whom he later collaborated. - Cocteau denied being a Surrealist or being in any way attached to the movement. Cocteau wrote the libretto for Igor Stravinsky's opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex, which had its original performance in the Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt in Paris on May 30, 1927. - In 1918 he met the French poet Raymond Radiguet. They collaborated extensively, socialized, and undertook many journeys and vacations together. Cocteau also got Radiguet exempted from military service. Admiring of Radiguet's great literary talent, Cocteau promoted his friend's works in his artistic circle and arranged for the publication by Grasset of Le Diable au corps. - There is disagreement over Cocteau's reaction to Radiguet's sudden death in 1923, with some claiming that it left him stunned, despondent and prey to opium addiction. Opponents of that interpretation point out that he did not attend the funeral (he generally did not attend funerals) and immediately left Paris with Diaghilev for a performance of Les noces (The Wedding) by the Ballets Russes at Monte Carlo. - In Opium: Journal of drug rehabilitation (Opium: Journal d'une désintoxication), he recounts the experience of his recovery from opium addiction in 1929. - Cocteau was supported throughout his recovery by his friend and correspondent philosopher Jacques Maritain. Under Maritain's influence Cocteau made a temporary return to the sacraments of the Catholic Church. - La Voix humaine is deceptively simple - a woman alone on stage for almost one hour of non-stop theater speaking on the telephone with her departing lover. It is, in fact, full of theatrical codes harking back to the Dadaists' Vox Humana experiments after World War One. - It is also true that none of Cocteau's works has inspired as much imitation: Francis Poulenc's opera La Voix humaine, Gian Carlo Menotti's "opera bouffa" The Telephone and Roberto Rosselini's film version in Italian with Anna Magnani L'Amore (1948). - There has also been a long line of interpreters including Simone Signoret, Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullmann (in the play) and Julia Migenes (in the opera). - According to one theory about how Cocteau was inspired to write La Voix humaine, he was experimenting with an idea by fellow French playwright Henri Bernstein. - Cocteau cast Marais in The Eternal Return (1943), Beauty and the Beast (1946), Ruy Blas (1947), and Orpheus (1949). - Biographer James S. Williams describes Cocteau's politics as "naturally Right-leaning." During the Nazi occupation of France, Cocteau's friend Arno Breker convinced him that ... - This piece caused him to be arraigned on charges of collaboration after the war, though he was cleared of any wrongdoing and had in fact used his contacts to attempt to save friends such as Max Jacob. - In 1940, Le Bel Indifférent, Cocteau's play written for and starring Édith Piaf, was enormously successful. He also worked with Pablo Picasso on several projects and was friends with most of the European art community. - His final film, Le Testament d'Orphée (The Testament of Orpheus) (1960), featured appearances by Picasso and matador Luis Dominguin, along with Yul Brynner, who also helped finance the film. - Cocteau was openly gay. His muse and lover for over 25 years was actor Jean Marais. - Cocteau died of a heart attack at his chateau in Milly-la-Forêt, Essonne, France, on 11 October 1963 at the age of 74. It is said that upon hearing of the death of his friend, the French singer Édith Piaf the same day, he choked so badly that his heart failed. - He is buried beneath the floor of the Chapelle Saint Blaise Des Simples in Milly-la-Forêt. The epitaph on his gravestone set in the floor of the chapel reads: "I stay with you" ("Je reste avec vous"). - In 1955 Cocteau was made a member of the Académie française and The Royal Academy of Belgium. - During his life Cocteau was commander of the Legion of Honor, Member of the Mallarmé Academy, German Academy (Berlin), American Academy, Mark Twain (U.S.A) Academy, Honorary President of the Cannes film festival, Honorary President of the France-Hungary Association and President of the Jazz Academy and of the Academy of the Disc ...

Bureaucrats and bus passengers respond with a touch of incredulity and alarm when they find out that they are dealing with a poet. - But there are no professors of poetry. This would mean, that poetry is an occupation requiring specialized study. - Let us recall that the pride of Russian poetry Joseph Brodsky was once sentenced to internal exile. - They called him "a parasite", because he lacked official certification - granting him the right to be a poet. - They didn't pick this or that kind of job out of passion. The circumstances of their lives did the choosing for them - Loveless work, boring work, work only valued because others haven't even got that much. - And any knowledge that doesn't lead to new questions quickly dies out: it fails to maintain the temperature required for sustaining life. - The world - whatever we might think when terrified by its vastness and our impotence, or embittered by its indifference to individual suffering, of people, animals, and perhaps even plants. - But in the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it - not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone's existence in this world ...
