			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reality, every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer&#8217;s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book.

<p>[En réalité, chaque lecteur est quand il lit le propre lecteur de soi-même. L&#8217;ouvrage de l&#8217;écrivain n&#8217;est qu&#8217;une espèce d’instrument optique qu&#8217;il offre au lecteur afin de lui permettre de discerner ce que sans ce livre il n’eût peut-être pas vu en soi-même. La reconnaissance en soi-même, par le lecteur, de ce que dit le livre, est la preuve de la vérité de celui-ci.]</p>
