| Angoisse by Stephane Mallarmé Je ne viens pas ce soir vaincre ton corps, ô bête En qui vont les péchés d'un peuple, ni creuser Dans tes cheveux impurs une triste tempête Sous l'incurable ennui que verse mon baiser Je demande à ton lit le lourd sommeil sans songes Planant sous les rideaux inconnus du remords, Et que tu peux goûter après tes noirs mensonges, Toi qui sur le néant en sais plus que les morts. Car le Vice, rongeant ma native noblesse M'a comme toi marqué de sa stérilité, Mais tandis que ton sein de pierre est habité Par un coeur que la dent d'aucun crime ne blesse, Je fuis, pâle, défait, hanté par mon linceul, Ayant peur de mourir lorsque je couche seul. |
Anxiety by Stephane Mallarmé I do not come this evening to subdue your body, oh creature In whom the sins of a people go, nor to dig In your impure hair a sad storm Under the incurable trouble from which my kiss pours: I ask of your bed a heavy dreamless sleep Smoothing out the unknown curtains of remorse, And that you can delight after your black lies, You who know more about nothingness than the dead. Because Vice, corroding my native nobility Like you marked me of this sterility, But while your stone centre is inhabited By a heart that the tooth of no crime can wound, I flee, pale, destroyed, haunted by my shroud, Afraid of dying when I sleep alone. translation by Todd Brooks |
