Je vous ouvrirai mes tiroirs secrets. Je vous présenterai des personnages qui ne sont plus en quête d'auteur, et qui ont bien voulu me choisir pour ce rôle ingrat, mais qui ne se sont pas eux-mêmes pleinement trouvés encore, qu'aucune action dramatique n'a encore convoqués, dont vous serez les premiers spectateurs : répétition générale, suivie de mois, et peut-être d'années de silence, et peut-être de silence définitif. Ils sont comiques ou tragiques, courtois ou forcenés, mais ils n'ont encore trouvé pour s'exprimer qu'une scène, courte ou longue, par laquelle je les présenterai à vous, dans une épreuve dont votre bienveillance fera une amicale entrevue. Jean Giraudoux
