TONIO WAS DOING LESS PILOTING, but his love of aviation only grew. Generous and unthinking by nature, he brought home all his friends from the boulevards and the cafés, and they came back to visit more often than he would have liked. He would go out to dream on the terrace, which overlooked the dome of the Invalides, while the Paris International Exposition flooded the night with sound and light.

The sounds and lights of our intimacy, meanwhile, were beginning to wane. There was too much coming and going at home. I still hadn’t completely recovered from my stay in Bern. At night I wandered down the long hallways of our apartment, sometimes dreaming of a little village on the African coast where I could live serenely with Tonio, immersed in the manuscripts that would be the only thing to separate us.

The evenings, full of guitars, were also full of pitfalls. The faces of Picasso, Max Ernst, Duchamp, other Surrealists, and so many other writers, painters, and filmmakers weren’t what I needed to put my mind at rest: I needed intimacy, a silence shared by two. Tonio understood and suggested we take a trip around the Mediterranean in our plane, a Simoun.
