LUDIVINE<br />
Gérard. Whoever brought me to the orphanage in Nancy a few days after my birth left a letter: “ My name is<br />
Ludivine, please deliver me to Gérard the boy giraffe, son of Albert Keller, the son of Alexandre Keller.”<br />
Albert Keller and Alexandre Keller have been dead and buried for ages. You are the only one left. Are you<br />
my father? Are you my brother? I am Ludivine. Are you Gérard?<br />
GÉRARD<br />
How long now this stuttering at the dawn of my window<br />
Waterfalls cascade in the fine veil of daylight<br />
The world that loved me.<br />
Where is the tiger so wisely free<br />
And the giraffe that loved me?<br />
She came to the rim of my eyes<br />
To lick every instant of my future.<br />
And the panther I loved so dearly<br />
And the voice of the gibbons<br />
And all those birds who loved me?<br />
