Summary:

Who is polyglot is often asked what language he dreams of, what language he speaks when he makes love, what language he swears and insults: as if the language had immediate contact with the soul and was directly linked to the unconscious or to the most intense feelings. The language would then express the deepest part of our personality, because there really resides what we have inside: how can we not love it as ourselves?
