Julie Varga

Eternals is a name given to those suffering from the melancholy of eternity. Convincedthat death cannot overcome their lives, they feel they are doomed to wander whilstwaiting for the day when they will be freed from their existence. In Saint Alban’sPsychiatric Asylum in Lizère, patients who suffered from this form of melancholy wereconfined, until some years ago, in a space called the square of the eternals. Most of themwere Armenians. In Armenia, belief has it that at the time that Jesus was carrying hiscross, the porter of Pontius Pilate ordered him to hurry Jesus replied: I am going, butyou will wait until I return. It is said that this man has been wandering in the mountainsof Armenia, and that he is the last man.
