by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Quelle déesse, quel dieu
Language: French (Français)
Quelle déesse, quel dieu s'est rendu à l'espace, pour que nous sentions mieux la clarté de sa face. Son être dissous remplit cette pure vallée du remous de sa vaste nature. Il aime, il dort. Forts du Sésame, nous entrons dans son corps et dormons dans son âme.
