Abstract
What leads to sleep has the shape of rhythm, of regularity and repetition. . . . The only processes that belong to sleep are those of respiration and circulation. . . . When it goes to sleep, the body is rocked to the rhythm of its heart and lungs. . . . Rocking movements put us to sleep because sleep in its essence is itself a rocking, not a stable motionless state. Lullaby: one charms, one enchants, one puts mistrust to sleep before putting wakefulness itself to sleep, one gently guides to nowhere—swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home.
