Jeunesse III (Vingt ans)

Language: French (Français) 
Les voix instructives exilées.... L'ingénuité physique amèrement
rassise.... -- Adagio -- Ah ! l'égoïsme infini de l'adolescence,
l'optimisme studieux : que le monde était plein de fleurs cet été !
Les airs et les formes mourant... -- Un chœur, pour calmer
l'impuissance et l'absence ! Un chœur de verres, de mélodies
nocturnes... En effet les nerfs vont vite chasser.
