“Le malheur avait mis les habits du mensonge Ils étaient d’un beau rouge couleur du sang du cœur Mais son cœur à lui était gris Penché sur la margelle il me chantait l’amour Sa voix grinçait comme la poulie Et moi dans mon costume de vérité je me taisais et je riais et je dansais au fond du puits Et sur l’eau qui riait aussi la lune brillait contre le malheur la lune se moquait de lui.”

“The storms inside uncoil into sky held calm by far seeing eyes Memories dressed in the translucent trickery of the mind, so as to wear life upon themselves, give up their tired dance and run into free frequency”

“J'aime la folle cruauté des chimères qu'on apprivoise.”

Poem

Author:Théophile Gautier

“Fox-Trot By the stream the fox and she-fox stood Nose to nose beneath the stars Dancing the music of the woods. The deer rapped a beat with their hooves, The ravens sang from raven hearts As by the stream the fox and she-fox stood. The great owl called as a great owl would, The squirrels all shimmied in the dark, Dancing the music of the woods. Then from the north a fierce wind blew And broke the starry dance apart By the stream where the fox and she-fox stood.”
