"Before leaving Montparnasse I scanned their directory of notables for anyone else that I may have overlooked. To such surprise that I almost took off running without looking at the map to see where to run to, I spotted the name Cioran. I mentioned in a previous e-mail that he is one of my favorite philosophers. He lived in Paris and died in 1995. I wanted to see if I could find where he was buried. I almost e-mailed a professor that I know to be writing a biography of him to see if she knew, but was thinking of skipping it. All the directory said was Cioran. I did not know if it was the Cioran that I wanted. I hurried to the corner of the cemetery where he was supposed to be and wandered the isles until I was sure that I had missed it when I came upon it. It was indeed Emil Cioran! And surprise of surprises! He is buried with Simone Boue. Who is she? A lover? Why are they buried together? Kyle, did you have some gossip about this already? Whatever the case I was as happy as one can be to discover a grave. I didn't want to leave. I plotted a return. I was a silly little disciple. "
