"The 'Embryons Desséchés' gracefully follow the 'Véritables Préludes Flasques' and the 'Descriptions Automatiques.'
This work is utterly incomprehensible, even to me.
Exceptionally profound, it continues to astonish me.
I wrote it against my will, pushed by Fate.
Did I perhaps intend to make humor?
I wouldn’t be surprised, and besides, it would be quite in my style."
