The portrait of a woman in her decline, her last love. Heroin belongs to a period in the life of the author and is standing witness to a concern exceeded. ... When Thérèse, with a trembling hand, spreads her hair swept across his forehead, so that the boy she charm, takes into horror and away from her, this gesture gives meaning to the whole book. The unfortunate part of the vast family of these creatures that come out of that night out of life. Le portrait d'une femme à son déclin, à son dernier amour. L'héroïne appartient à une époque de la vie de l'auteur déjà ancienne et qu'elle est le témoin d'une inquiétude dépassée. ... Lorsque Thérèse, d'une main hésitante, écarte ses cheveux sur son front ravagé, afin que le garçon qu'elle charme la prenne en horreur et s'éloigne d'elle, ce geste donne son sens à tout le livre. La malheureuse appartient à l'immense famille de ces êtres qui ne sortiront de la nuit qu'en sortant de la vie.
