Sample text
Like sigh of love the bosom raising, The domes, against the waters’ blue, Trace the pure contour of the phrasing, Swelling full, as round breasts will do. I land as my skiff touches ground By a façade of pink; and there, A pillar chaining it around, Next to a rising marble stair... Gondolas, palaces, her nights Of seaborne revels, sweet chagrin... Venice, with all her wild delights, Sings us that song and lives therein. A pizzicato plucked upon A fragile string... ∞Ω 32 Emaux et Camées, 1852–1872 III Carnaval Venise pour le bal s’habille.
10 Emaux et Camées, 1852–1872 LE POEME DE LA FEMME Marbre de Paros Un jour, au doux rêveur qui l’aime, En train de montrer ses trésors, Elle voulut lire un poème, Le poème de son beau corps. D’abord, superbe et triomphante Elle vint en grand apparat, Traînant avec des airs d’infante Un flot de velours nacarat : Telle qu’au rebord de sa loge Elle brille aux Italiens Ecoutant passer son éloge Dans les chants des musiciens. Ensuite, en sa verve d’artiste, Laissant tomber l’épais velours, Dans un nuage de batiste Elle ébaucha ses fiers contours.
Against the melody chromatic, Venus, her breast with droplets pearled, Rises up from the Adriatic, Her body pink and white unfurled. Like sigh of love the bosom raising, The domes, against the waters’ blue, Trace the pure contour of the phrasing, Swelling full, as round breasts will do. I land as my skiff touches ground By a façade of pink; and there, A pillar chaining it around, Next to a rising marble stair... Gondolas, palaces, her nights Of seaborne revels, sweet chagrin... Venice, with all her wild delights, Sings us that song and lives therein.
