Sisyphyus, proletarian of the gods, powerless and rebellious, knows the whole extent of his wretched condition; it is what he thinks of during his descent. The lucidity that was to constitute his torture at the same time crowns his victory. There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Sisyphe, prolétaire des dieux, impuissant et révolté, connaît tout l'étendue de sa misérable condition: c'est à elle qu'il pense pendant sa descent. La clairvoyance quidevait faire son tourmeent consomme du même coup sa victore. Il n'est pas de destin qui ne se surmonte par le mépris.
