A picture on the wall above the wooden table shows the moment when Breton met his death. He was a great artist. He created a universe in a single sitting. He fell in step with the rhythms of his craft. He did not plan out his movements in advance. He simply made them.
He was also a great storyteller. The art of telling stories is a lifelong process of "making out of a word" an act of reading that transforms it into a fragment of a greater "saying."
