Part Two

Extending the Thread of Memory

When Osiris suddenly appeared—for the niche was cut right into the wall—under the green light, I was scared. Were my eyes, naturally, informed first? No. First my shoulders and the back of my neck, crushed by a hand or a mass that compelled me to sink into the Egyptian ages and, mentally, to bow down and even to crouch before this tiny statue with its hard gaze, its hard smile. Here indeed was a god. Of the inexorable. (I am speaking, as may have been realized, of the figure of Osiris standing in the crypt of the Louvre.) I was scared because no mistake was possible: this was a god.

—Jean Genet, “The Studio of Alberto Giacometti”
