Rimbaud's Rock

Je sais les cieux crevant en éclairs, et les trombes

et les ressacs et les courants : je sais le soir,

l'aube exaltée ainsi qu'un peuple de colombes,

et j'ai vu quelquefois ce que l'homme a cru voir!

 

Arthur Rimbaud, Le Bateau Ivre

 

I have come to know the skies splitting with lightning,

and the waterspouts, and the breakers and currents;

I know the evening, and dawn rising up like a flock of doves,

and sometimes I have seen what men have imagined they saw!

 

Arthur Rimbaud, The Drunken Boat
