Elle passait parfois, laissant derrière elle une trace de silence et de fragilité. Chaque détail, chaque ombre semblait murmurer son absence, comme un secret non dit. La chambre, témoin de son passage, n’en gardait que des fragments — une chaise, une lingerie, un souffle suspendu. Tout était dans l’attente, dans ce qui n’a pas été dit, mais qui se devine.
Isaiah 30:14 “It will break in pieces like pottery, shattered so mercilessly that among its pieces not a fragment will be found for taking coals from a hearth or scooping water out of a cistern.”
Norman Thomas: “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
This is an image from my Fragments project.
Knowledge consists of fragments of information, of facts, of experiences. We arrange these fragments in some order and we get a narrative which forms into knowledge. If we arrange fragments in a different order, we will get a different narrative. But all the information remains.

Une bastide imprenable
La bastide fût fondée en 1265 par Alphonse de Poitiers, frère de Saint Louis et fût longtemps préservée des exactions et attaques en raison de ses fortifications. En outre, située sur un plateau à plus de 155 mètres, elle dominait – et domine toujours – la vallée du Lot, offrant ainsi un point de vue imprenable sur d’éventuelles attaques ennemies.
Les forêts et carrières voisines fournirent les matériaux de construction des différentes fortifications. Deux carrières sont d’ailleurs encore visibles aujourd’hui au lieu-dit « Moulin de Safin ».
Côté plateau, au nord et à l’ouest, le village était protégé par des douves profondes – dont une partie subsiste aujourd’hui – et par des remparts.
Il existait trois portes équipées de pont-levis et défendues par une barbacane. La porte Est donnait sur la route de Monclar, en face du temple actuel, la porte Ouest sur la route de Clairac et la porte Nord sur les douves, à l’emplacement actuel du mur des fusillés.
An impregnable bastide
The bastide was founded in 1265 by Alphonse de Poitiers, brother of Saint Louis, and was long protected from exactions and attacks due to its fortifications. In addition, located on a plateau at an altitude of more than 155 metres, it dominated – and still dominates – the Lot valley, thus offering an unobstructed view of possible enemy attacks.
The neighbouring forests and quarries provided the building materials for the various fortifications. Two quarries are still visible today at the place called “Moulin de Safin”.
On the plateau side, to the north and west, the village was protected by deep moats – part of which still exist today – and by ramparts.
There were three gates equipped with drawbridges and defended by a barbican. The East gate opened onto the Monclar road, opposite the current temple, the West gate onto the Clairac road and the North gate onto the moats, at the current location of the shooting wall.
