Patmos était ainsi devenu un lieu de rencontre, une sorte de cratère où brûlaient la foi intense, la passion mystique, mais aussi les hérésies.  » Le Grec m’a dévisagé, ne cherchant à cacher ni sa surprise, ni son irritation, ni même sa colère. Je lui avais volé ce qui lui appartenait en propre. � Comme un agneau… », a-t-il répété. Et, détournant la tête, parlant d’une voix sourde, lasse et méprisante, il a égrené tout ce qu’il savait sur Paul Déméter. Le Professeur, comme il l’appelait – « Déméter ?
