“tortured by a word”

Philippe Soupault:

I see him again, during one of the days I spent with him, tortured by a word, almost rebelliously construction a framework, questioning his characters, extracting a vision from some music, throwing himself exhaustedly on a couch, the better to hear that phrase which was about to be born, about to burst into light. Then for an hour or more a deep silence, broken by laughs.
