Marquis de Sade. 29 June 1900. Victor Hugo. So walked, so talked, slept so with your phantom. See Memory appear, and my mirror-self love me, And see the fine hapless son that I’d own, His gesture made cataclysmic pride crumble, And sudden the spring of love and the hero, Led a young April day forth from the tomb, The paths that ran out of the west were covered, By skeletal weeds weighed with fate and by flowers, By gravestones trembling beside green corpses, While the winds blew there the seeds of ill hours, Leaving the mule his love stepped towards him, Then the pale lovers joined feverish hands, Interlaced fingers sole signs of love’s mastery, She hung there enacting a rhythm of being, Crying: For a century I awaited your call, How sweet to dance when a mirage appears for you, In which everything sings and the winds of terror, Feign the peal of the moon’s hilarious laughter, Ghosts scurried to populate nightmares, apart, My whirling movements expressed the beatitudes, Which are nothing but pure effects of my art, I gathered nothing but flowers of hawthorn, Fading in spring that would lose their white bloom, While the birds of prey were crying their plunder, Stillborn lambs, child-gods longing for doom, And I’ve aged you see during you lifetime I dance, But I would soon have wearied and hawthorn in flower, This April would have shown little assurance, But that of some ancient corpse sadness devours, And their hands were raised like a flight of doves, Brightness on which night swooped like a vulture, Then Merlin strode East saying: Let him rise, Let him rise from the mud or be human shade, His brow haloed with fire on the road to Rome, He will travel alone with a sky-ward gaze, The woman who waits for me is named Viviane, Couched amongst coltsfoot and sweet marjoram, I’ll dwell ages deep in the hawthorn flowers, Note: The characters are from the Arthurian Legends. Essayists Albert Camus . Poétique, la mémoire Not in Library. So like to the flower and the current of air, And the watercourse with its fleeting shadows, And the smile glimpsed that special night at midnight, It is midnight gone lifting its naked chest above belfries poplars, The ancient corpses the young felled oaks, The tatters of fabric rotting in the ground and the linen drying round farms, I summon the smoke of volcanoes cigarettes, I summon the gravediggers summon assassins, Summon the executioners pilots stonemasons architects, Triumphant midnight deploys its satin wings and lands on my bed, Those lost in the fields find each other in finding me, Young felled oaks are covered with foliage, The tatters of fabric rotting in the ground and on the ground, Flap at the sound of my voice like banners of rebellion, The linen drying round farms clothes adorable women I do not adore, Hurricanes if it is possible redden my lips, Typhoons if it is possible ruffle my hair, I receive the ecstatic kisses of the cyclone, Earthquakes do not shake me but shatter things at my command, The smoke of volcanoes clothes me in vapour, The lovers and love so long pursued find refuge within me, Gravediggers abandon barely dug graves and declare, A woman’s small body is rolled along by the river.
