by Stéphane Mallarmé (1842 - 1898)
Quelconque une solitude
Language: French (Français)
Quelconque une solitude Sans le cygne ni le quai Mire sa désuétude Au regard que j'abdiquai Ici de la gloriole Haute à ne la pas toucher Dont maint ciel se bariole Avec les ors de coucher Mais langoureusement longe Comme de blanc linge ôté Tel fugace oiseau si plonge Exultatrice à côté Dans l'onde toi devenue Ta jubilation nue
