L'Émeraude
(2003)
Part of a series or song cycle:
Pancarte pour une porte d'entrée
L'Émeraude
D’un coquillage au pire émoi
se referme l’image absente
encore qu’un néant inspire
plus de sagesse dans l’amour
en nous mille fois répétée
serait-ce une émeraude à naître?
The Emerald
The absent image of a shell
Closes on the worst commotion
Although nothingness inspires
More wisdom in love
Repeated in us a thousand times
Might this be an emerald yet to be born?
