An Imaginary Conversation translated and adapted by David Paul from
L'ldee fixe by Paul Valery with an introduction by the translator
Frank Duncan as Paul Valery Carleton Hobbs os The Doctor A point of worry, grievance, obsession, a line of thought that repeats and repeats itself in the mind to the exclusion of all else, even of what we are looking at or (supposedly) doing; this is an experience we aU know to our cost. Many a play gives us the comic or tragic results of an obsession, but not the process itself, the inner compulsion that acts like a drug, or the need for it. This explains the second-and more topical-meaning of the English title of Valéry's work.
