by Arthur Rimbaud (1854 - 1891)
C'est le repos éclairé
Language: French (Français)
C'est le repos éclairé, ni fiévre, ni langueur, sur le lit ou sur le pré. C'es l'ami ni ardent ni faible. L'ami. C'est l'aimée, ni tourmentante ni tourmentée. L'aimée. L'air et le monde point cherchés. La vie. Était-ce donc ceci? Et le rêve fraîchit.
