Poem

I saw a peacock with a fiery tail.. by Anonymous I saw a peacock with a fiery tail I saw a blazing comet drop down hail I saw a cloud wrapped with ivy round I saw an oak creep upon the ground I saw a pismire swallow up a whale I saw the sea brimful of ale I saw a Venice glass full fifteen feet deep I saw a well full of men's tears that weep I saw red eyes all of a flaming fire I saw a house bigger than the moon and higher I saw the sun at twelve o'clock at night I saw the man that saw this wondrous sight.

French Poetry

Jours de lenteur, jours de pluie,

Jours de miroirs brisés et d’aiguilles perdues,

Jours de paupières closes à l’horizon des mers,

D’heures toutes semblables, jours de captivité,

Mon esprit qui brillait encore sur les feuilles

Et les fleurs, mon esprit est nu comme l’amour,

L’aurore qu’il oublie lui fait baisser la tête

Et contempler son corps obéissant et vain.

Pourtant j’ai vu les plus beaux yeux du monde,

Dieux d’argent qui tenaient des saphirs dans leurs mains,

De véritables dieux, des oiseaux dans la terre

Et dans l’eau, je les ai vus.

Leurs ailes sont les miennes, rien n’existe

Que leur vol qui secoue ma misère,

Leur vol d’étoile et de lumière

Leur vol de terre, leur vol de pierre

Sur les flots de leurs ailes,

Ma pensée soutenue par la vie et la mort

Translation

Days of slow, rainy days,
Days of broken mirrors and needles lost,
Days of closed eyes on the horizon of the sea,
In all similar hours, days in captivity,

My mind was still shining on the leaves
And flowers, my mind is as naked as love,
Dawn forgets him head down
And watch her ​​body obedient and vain.

Yet I saw the most beautiful eyes of the world
Gods of silver, which kept the sapphires in their hands,
Real gods, birds in the ground
And water, I saw them.

Their wings are mine, nothing exists
That their flight shaking my misery,
Their flight from star light and
Their land theft, theft of stone
On the water with their wings,

My thoughts supported by the life and death
