Liquidité
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Les grappes de glycine imitent les cascades, L'herbe luit, telle une eau qui se ride en coulant, Et le ciel ordinaire au bleu taché de blanc Semble un lac suspendu plein de voiles nomades.
Confirmed with Francis Jammes, Le premier livre de quatrains, Paris: Mercure de France, 1923, Page 22.
