Paul Valéry ou la littérature considérée comme un faux

Jean PaulhanPaul Valéry

Is rhetoric a pure exercise of the mind, a machine for producing truth under the appearance of falsehood?

Using this clever mechanism, and having fun with its abstract workings, Paulhan provokes Valéry. he pursues him even in his hesitations, he walks through the twists and turns of his reflection, taking pleasure in competing with him in finesse and mastery in the art of language.
