Good use of melancholy

Summary/Abstract: This text is an illustration of the ancient medical meaning of melancholy: the black humor of the depressed and the great artists that faced the death which nourished their works. There are five promenades along Parisian cemeteries which mix architectural and historical considerations with personal experiences taking the form of reveries oscillating between life and death, shadow and light.
