by Arthur Rimbaud (1854 - 1891)

Fleurs
Language: French (Français) 
D'un gradin d'or - parmi les cordons de soie, les gazes grises, les
velours verts et les disques de cristal qui noircissent comme du
bronze au soleil, - je vois la digitale s'ouvrir sur un tapis de
filigranes d'argent, d'yeux et de chevelures.  Des pièces d'or
jaune semées sur l'agate, des piliers d'acajou supportant un
dôme d'émeraudes, des bouquets de satin blanc et de fines
verges de rubis entourent la rose d'eau.  Tels qu'un dieu aux
énormes yeux bleus et aux formes de neige, la mer et le ciel
attirent aux terrasses de marbre la foule des jeunes et fortes roses.
