๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท – Enfance II

     C'est elle, la petite morte, derriรจre les rosiers. โ€” La jeune maman trรฉpassรฉe descend le perron. โ€” La calรจche du cousin crie sur le sable. โ€” Le petit frรจre โ€” (il est aux Indes!) lร , devant le couchant, sur le prรฉ d'oeillets, โ€” les vieux qu'on a enterrรฉs tout droits dans le rempart aux giroflรฉes.
L'essaim des feuilles d'or entoure la maison du gรฉnรฉral. Ils sont dans le midi. โ€” On suit la route rouge pour arriver ร  l'auberge vide. Le chรขteau est ร  vendre; les persiennes sont dรฉtachรฉes. โ€” Le curรฉ aura emportรฉ la clef de l'รฉglise. โ€” Autour du parc, les loges des gardes sont inhabitรฉes. Les palissades sont si hautes qu'on ne voit que les cimes bruissantes. D'ailleurs il n'y a rien ร  voir lร  dedans.
Les prรฉs remontent au hameaux sans coqs, sans enclumes. L'รฉcluse est levรฉe. O les calvaires et les moulins du dรฉsert, les รฎles et les meules!
Des fleurs magiques bourdonnaient. Les talus le berรงaient. Des bรชtes d'une รฉlรฉgance fabuleuse circulaient. Les nuรฉes s'amassaient sur la haute mer faite d'une รฉternitรฉ de chaudes larmes.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง – Childhood II

   It's her, the little dead girl, behind the rosebushes. - The dead young mother comes down the steps. - Cousin's carriage screams on the sand. - The little brother - (he's in India!) There, in front of the setting sun, on the carnation meadow, - the old people who have been buried straight up in the wall with wallflowers.
The swarm of gold leaves surrounds the general's house. They are in the south. - We follow the red road to arrive at the empty inn. The castle is for sale; the shutters are detached. - The parish priest will have taken the key to the church. - Around the park, the guards' lodges are uninhabited. The palisades are so high that only the rustling peaks can be seen. Besides, there is nothing to see there.
The meadows go up to hamlets without roosters, without anvils. The lock is up. O the Calvaries and the mills of the desert, the islands and the millstones!
Magic flowers were buzzing. The embankments rocked him. Animals of fabulous elegance circulated. The clouds gathered on the high seas made of an eternity of hot tears.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น – Infanzia II

   รˆ lei, la ragazzina morta, dietro i cespugli di rose. - La giovane madre morta scende le scale. - La carrozza del cugino urla sulla sabbia. - Il fratellino - (รจ in India!) Lร , davanti al sole che tramonta, sul prato dei garofani, - i vecchi che sono stati seppelliti direttamente nel muro con le violacciocche.
Lo sciame di foglie d'oro circonda la casa del generale. Sono nel sud. - Seguiamo la strada rossa per arrivare alla locanda vuota. Il castello รจ in vendita; le persiane sono staccate. - Il parroco avrร  preso la chiave della chiesa. - Intorno al parco, le logge delle guardie sono disabitate. Le palizzate sono cosรฌ alte che si possono vedere solo i picchi fruscianti. A parte ciรฒ non c'รจ nulla da vedere.
I prati risalgono verso villaggi senza galli, senza incudini. La serratura รจ aperta. O i calvari e i mulini del deserto, le isole e le macine!
I fiori magici ronzavano. Gli argini lo scuotevano. Circolavano animali di favolosa eleganza. Le nuvole raccolte in alto mare fatte di un'eternitร  di lacrime calde.
