It has been raining heavily since morning. The winter day is short, it was already getting dark when I climbed the narrow deserted streets to the top of Montmartre. By this time it was already quite dark.

In masonry, “Passing through the wall” froze forever - this literary character once discovered a unique ability to pass through stone barriers. A lot of things happened to him from escaping through the prison wall to visiting a girlfriend (his ability to pass through, fortunately, did not extend to a girlfriend). But there was a bad day with personal problems, poor health, and he imprudently took the first medicine that came to hand. He was not alerted by the difficulty with which he entered the wall this time, but in vain! He could no longer get out of it, and he was petrified forever.
The sculpture was created by Jean Marais, a cult actor from the time of my youth, the personification of now forgotten qualities: courage, nobility, honor and disinterestedness, however, not the entire range of works of a very versatile actor was presented in the domestic film distribution. "Sagittarius" is restless - he never started a family, Marais's adopted son did not possess his talents: Marais was not only an excellent actor, but also a director, artist, sculptor. In addition, he also sang a disc, in my opinion, not very successful, although, they say, it was in demand. It must be taken into account that his natural voice was not at all as velvety as that of the actors who dubbed it on the Soviet screen, and Cocteau's poetry on this disc was not indisputable.
