Of a personal and reflective nature, saying that if one insists on shutting oneself up in an ivory tower, which becomes a tower of Babel, one feels that he has failed, and that that is not fair with respect to the wishes and hopes he has in himself, because one has many things in himself that he represses and fears, saying [of the fisherman represented on one of the cards]: "Je crois que la verité est dans le simplicité de ce pêcheur à la ligne, il sait qu'il ne prendra rien, que ses désirs sont impossibles, que les joies et ses espoirs sont vains ... Je l'envie de passer son temps à essayer des illusions, des mirages, des miracles;" quoting from Apollinaire's poem Le pont Mirabeau, etc.
