by Arthur Rimbaud (1854 - 1891)
Les amis
Language: French (Français)
Viens, les vins vont aux plages, Et les flots par millions! Vois le Bitter suavage Rouler du haut des monts! Gagnons, pèlerins sages, L'absinthe aux verts piliers... MOI: Plus ces paysages. Qu'est l'ivresse, Amis? J'aime autant, mieux, même, Pourrir dans l'étang, Sous l'affreuse crème, Près des bois flottants.
