Using their last warmth in emulation,

Our two hearts will be two vast torches,

Which will reflect their double lights

In our two spirits, those twin mirrors.

One evening, made of mystical rose and blue,

We will exchange one flash of light,

Like a long sob, laden with farewells;

And later an Angel, half opening the doors,

Will come, faithful and joyous, to reanimate

The tarnished mirrors and the dead flames.

Death of the Artists

How many times must I shake my clown’s bells

And kiss your low brow, sad caricature?

In order to strike the target, of mystical nature,

How many javelins must I lose, O quiver?
