Translated by J. S. (John Strong) Newberry
Tête-D'or is a three-act play by Paul Claudel, first published in 1919. The narrative centers on Simon Agnel, who grapples with grief after the death of a loved one, and Cébès, who questions the essence of existence. The dialogue explores profound themes of love, loss, and existential inquiry, reflecting on the interplay between life and death. This work is notable for its deep philosophical undertones and its place in early 20th-century French drama.
