Sisyphe – Michel Dumoulin

« La lutte elle-même vers les sommets suffit à remplir un cœur d’homme. Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux. »

Albert Camus, Le mythe de Sisyphe, 1942

Pour avoir défié les dieux, Sisyphe est condamné à pousser éternellement un rocher jusqu’en haut d’une colline. Mais, avant d’atteindre le sommet, le rocher dégringole toujours jusque en-bas.

A première vue la punition est abominable. Cependant Camus imagine Sisyphe heureux. Chercher à s’élever, poursuivre un but, se rapprocher d’un objectif suffit au bonheur d’un homme.
