„Baron D’Agneau“ ist eine Erzählung von Angelika Slavik die auf Basis eines Gesprächs mit Franz Boos-Waldegg (geboren 1926) beruht. Ich kannte mich noch immer nicht besonders gut aus in Wien, als ich mich an einem Donnerstagmorgen im März 1964 auf den Weg zur Arbeit machte.

Sortir de soi, de chez soi, signifie se perdre. Écrire, à mes yeux, est un acte intime. Nul geste ne me rapproche davantage de moi-même. De ce à quoi je tiens le plus. Rien ne me fait me sentir moins seule, absente, écartée de tout : pas même l'acte d'aimer." (Silvia Baron Supervielle)
