Writing of things to the test of the sun about the sun set into abyss by Francis Ponge

This article examines how the French poet Francis Ponge. in writing a series of texts devoted to the sun (1948-54), inaugurates an ars poetica called "l'objeu." The suit represents a real threat-both empirical and philosophical-to the author's earthbound and stony sensitivity. The notion of l'objeu, which is indissociable from the text Le Soled place en abime, can thus be understood as the invention of a poetical program that challenges the brightness of the sun with the help of science. As he transforms the Sun into l'objeu by Using the power of his own signature, Ponge takes part in the glorification of a new form of textual transcendence: henceforth the poem is converted into a baroque parasol, whose goal eventually consists in allowing each terrestrial object to be put in the spotlight.
