Özet:

 

Our study aims at the “immense” in The Night of fire that brings the desert to light. Furthermore,  we  have  resorted  to  the  notion  of  intimate  immensity  theorized  in  Gaston Bachelard’s philosophy. After this intimate call of the immense, É. E. Schmitt seized  the  “I”  that  he  does  not  like  to  say  what  revelation  he  had  received  and  what  man  he  has  become.  We  have  shown  to  what  extent  the  desert  is  a  space  of  rebirth  and  revelation,  starting  from  the  fact  that  the  immensity  of  the  desert  resounds in intimate vastness. The text is thus strewn with the marks of immensity; this is particularly due to the reverie of the immense that has been activated in the intimacy  of  the  narrator.  His  contemplation  of  the  infinite  has  caused  his  body  to  undergo  a  clear  expansion  or  even  a  dilation.  This  corroborates  the  fact  that  the  gaze absorbs the immensity of the desert. The doubling of the body is also clearly detectable in the narrator. Two beings lodge in him. The phenomenon of expansion also occurs in the form of an ascension. To breathe cosmically until he finds himself in  an  intimate,  spatial,  and  timeless  elsewhere,  the  dilation  of  the  body  to  which  reverie has given birth allows the narrator to free himself from gravity.
