3rd March 1928, in the sitting room of 54 rue du Chateau.
antonin artaud: is the thought of the relations you had had with a woman who has died something which exalts or diminishes your idea of love? does it enrich the feeling of despair that you seek in the depths of love?
andre breton: i have never had sexual relations with a woman who i know is now dead.
artaud: has anyone had sexual relations with a woman who has since died?
yves tanguy: yes.
artaud: has that given you any pangs of remorse?
tanguy: oh! no, well...
artaud: i can assure you that it has terrified me and paralysed me for the rest of my life... does anyone here find the idea of masturbation loathsome?
