Cliché

Au mur, il y a une photo. Non, pardon, il y a des photos mais je n’en vois qu’une, la seule en noir et blanc dans une série de portraits. Sur toutes les autres, le kitch de la tenue des protagonistes jure sur un fond pastel rose ou bleu.
Au mur blanc, cette photo en noir blanc, plus grande que les autres. Les contrastes sont forts et le grain soigné. Son auteur est un mec qui sait y faire. Au centre de la photo, un homme droit comme un « i ». à ses côtés, un cheval au pelage brillant et une profondeur de champ qui court jusqu’aux montagnes.
Il est habillé de vêtements simples et fluides dans lesquels son corps noueux de vieil homme paraît se perdre. Sous le chapeau de paille, son visage buriné reste éclairé par le soleil qui, par un subtil jeu d’ombres, souligne les rigoles du temps. Sa mine est sévère mais sans fâcherie. On y lit de la fierté et non de l’arrogance. Le cigare entre les dents participe sans doute de cette posture noble. Ses yeux clairs adressent un regard franc. Ils sont animés d’une lueur si vive que l’on pourrait un instant percevoir de la couleur dans ce tableau monochrome.
On m’indique qu’il s’agit du frère. Il s’appelle Marcello. Comme beaucoup ici, il travaille à la plantation de tabac.
Dans le soir qui tombe, je me surprends à fredonner une chanson qui porte son nom et m’emmène vers des souvenirs anciens. Détachant mes yeux du soleil qui rougit par la fenêtre, je reviens à la photo. Elle est belle. Il est si digne.
Et voici qu’elle s’anime, prend des couleurs et parle.

Par la fenêtre ouverte à droite des portraits vient de me saluer Marcello. Il rentre du boulot.
Même dignité, même cigare, même chemise ouverte sur le torse hâlé. Il est peut-être moins vieux. Son regard aussi vert que sévère m’intimide.
Je m’attends à une poignée de main virile et quelques grognements en guise de bonsoir.

Mais Marcello me claque la bise. Il me parle sans s’apercevoir que je ne comprends rien. Il me parle avec un fort accent et les mains. Tant et si bien que je me retrouve à ses côtés sur la terrasse.
Il s’installe dans l’un des rocking-chairs, s’y balance avec satisfaction puis m’invite d’un geste à l’imiter. Je m’y assois lentement et impulse un imperceptible mouvement au fauteuil à bascules comme pour me faire oublier.
Marcello se marre. Je ne sais pas pourquoi. Je suppose qu’il est content.
Son rire se tait mais ses yeux gardent un sourire presque polisson. Sans un mot, il me regarde et lève un doigt à la hauteur de son visage, à la manière d’un magicien qui appelle à la concentration sur son prochain tour. Il tire de sa poche trois larges feuilles de tabac. Ses doigts déchirent, s’animent, tassent et roulent deux cigares impeccables. Marcello est un magicien.
Il me tend l’un des deux. Je refuse. Il insiste et l’allume pour moi. Je tousse. Il me fait signe de ne pas avaler. Je me détends, me balance ; j’y prends goût. Puis il me sert un verre de rhum. J’hésite, y trempe les lèvres. Bientôt j’y prends goût aussi.
Il se marre à nouveau. Et se met à parler avec une telle alacrité que, sans savoir ce qu’il raconte, je ris aussi. J’observe qu’à plusieurs reprises, tout en parlant, il soulève la ceinture de son pantalon, y plonge l’une de ses larges mains et se remet les couilles en place. Il faut croire que le balancement un peu franc du fauteuil les déstabilise car il répète ce geste avec le naturel de quelqu’un qui se recoiffe. Il me pose quelques questions et répète chacune de mes réponses deux ou trois fois en hochant la tête comme quelqu’un qui vient d’apprendre une chose importante.

Souvent aussi il se tait comme pour mieux savourer l’instant. Il me jette alors un regard complice et semble attendre que j’approuve d’un sourire la beauté du ciel étoilé, le doux mouvement du rocking-chair, la sensation du rhum qui coule dans la gorge et le sang, la saveur du cigare, la douceur de l’air et les montagnes qui se dessinent au loin dans le ciel noir.

Marcello est bien l’homme digne et franc que j’ai d’abord observé en noir et blanc. Mais la photo ne disait pas ceci : son goût de vivre et de partager.

  7. I look after a vape store directory site and we have had a listing from a vape store in the USA that likewise offers CBD product lines. A Month later on, PayPal has contacted use to claim that our account has been limited and have requested us to remove PayPal as a payment method from our vape store web directory. We do not offer for sale CBD products such as CBD oil. We simply provide internet marketing professional services to CBD firms. I have visited Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Top Health Retail store and if you take a good peek, you will witness that they offer a somewhat extensive stable of CBD goods, particularly CBD oil and they also happen to take PayPal as a payment solution. It appears that PayPal is applying double standards to different companies. Due to this restriction, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related internet site. This has limited my payment choices and right now, I am greatly reliant on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have talked with a barrister from a Magic Circle law firm in The city of london and they explained that what PayPal is doing is entirely illegal and discriminatory as it should be applying a systematic standard to all companies. I am still to consult with another attorney from a US law practice in The city of london to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the United States. For the time being, I would be highly appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could provide me with substitute payment processors/merchants that work with CBD companies.

  30. I have witnessed that service fees for online degree professionals tend to be a terrific value. For example a full College Degree in Communication with the University of Phoenix Online consists of 60 credits with $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online comes with a Bachelors of Business Administration with a entire course feature of 180 units and a price of $30,560. Online studying has made getting the college diploma so much easier because you can earn your degree from the comfort of your abode and when you finish working. Thanks for all the other tips I have learned through your site.

  32. One thing I want to touch upon is that weightloss routine fast can be performed by the correct diet and exercise. A person’s size not merely affects the look, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, and also physical abilities are damaged in extra weight. It is possible to just make everything right and at the same time having a gain. If this happens, a problem may be the perpetrator. While an excessive amount of food rather than enough exercising are usually responsible, common health conditions and widely used prescriptions could greatly enhance size. Thanks alot : ) for your post here.

  43. I have observed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate managers, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate deal, a commission is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers never “save” the percentage. Rather, they fight to win the commission by doing a agent’s work. In the process, they expend their money plus time to conduct, as best they could, the jobs of an adviser. Those duties include revealing the home by marketing, introducing the home to willing buyers, building a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, scheduling home inspections, managing qualification check ups with the loan company, supervising maintenance, and facilitating the closing.
