๐ซ๐ท – Vies I, de Arthur Rimbaud
ร les รฉnormes avenues du pays saint, les terrasses du temple ! Quโa-t-on fait du brahmane qui mโexpliqua les Proverbes ? Dโalors, de lร -bas, je vois encore mรชme les vieilles ! Je me souviens des heures dโargent et de soleil vers les fleuves, la main de la compagne sur mon รฉpaule, et de nos caresses debout dans les plaines poivrรฉes. โ Un envol de pigeons รฉcarlates tonne autour de ma pensรฉe. โ Exilรฉ ici, jโai eu une scรจne oรน jouer les chefs-dโลuvre dramatiques de toutes les littรฉratures. Je vous indiquerais les richesses inouรฏes. Jโobserve lโhistoire des trรฉsors que vous trouvรขtes. Je vois la suite ! Ma sagesse est aussi dรฉdaignรฉe que le chaos. Quโest mon nรฉant, auprรจs de la stupeur qui vous attend ?

๐ฌ๐ง – Lives I, by Arthur Rimbaud
O the huge avenues of the holy land, the terraces of the temple! What has become of the Brahmin who explained the Proverbs to me? I can still see the old women from there! I remember the hours of silver and sunshine by the rivers, my companion's hand on my shoulder, and our caresses standing on the peppery plains. - A flock of scarlet pigeons thunders around my thoughts. - Exiled here, I had a stage on which to perform the dramatic masterpieces of all literature. I would show you the untold riches. I observe the history of the treasures you found. I can see the rest! My wisdom is as despised as chaos. What is my nothingness compared to the astonishment that awaits you?
๐ฎ๐น – Vite I, di Arthur Rimbaud
O immensi viali della terra santa, terrazze del tempio! Che fine ha fatto il bramino che mi spiegava i Proverbi? Riesco ancora a vedere le donne anziane da lรฌ! Ricordo le ore d'argento e di sole in riva ai fiumi, la mano del mio compagno sulla mia spalla e le nostre carezze in piedi sulle pianure pepate. - Uno stormo di piccioni scarlatti tuona intorno ai miei pensieri. - Esiliato qui, avevo un palcoscenico su cui rappresentare i capolavori drammatici di tutta la letteratura. Vi mostrerei le ricchezze incalcolabili. Osservo la storia dei tesori che hai trovato. Posso vedere il resto! La mia saggezza รจ disprezzata come il caos. Che cos'รจ il mio nulla in confronto allo stupore che ti aspetta?
