I need the English translations of the following French poems. Would any of my colleagues be kind enough to tell me where I can find them? Preferably in the internet (none of these poets have copyrights but perhaps the translations have?) or in books? 1. Alfred de Vigny – L’ésprit pour (Recueil: Les destinées) 2. Victor Hugo – Puisque j’ai mis ma lèvre à ta coupe encor pleine (Recueil: Les chants du crépuscule); 3. Théophile Gautier— L’art (Recueil: E...

Laforgue: ESTHETIQUE | Jul 13, 2003 |
I can tell you where there's a translation of Jules Laforgue's ESTHETIQUE: it's in JULES LAFORGUE - POEMS, Bilingual Edition, translated by Peter Dale. Published by Anvil Press, London, 2001. It was first published in 1986, and I think he made some revisions to some of his translations for the second edition. This book has an interesting introduction by the translator. Good luck with the other poems! I don't think I have any information on them at the moment. | | | RHELLER United States Local time: 23:50 French to English + ...

Allez-vous-en avec vos fleurs toutes fanées; J'ai dans l'âme une fleur que nul ne peut cueillir! Votre aile en le heurtant ne fera rien répandre Du vase où je m'abreuve et que j'ai bien rempli. Mon âme a plus de feu que vous n'avez de cendre! Mon coeur a plus d'amour que vous n'avez d'oubli! Input by Ted Perry Since I've pressed my lips to your still brimming cup Since I've pressed my lips to your still brimming cup; Since on your brow I've laid my pale brow; Since at times I have caught the sweet breath Of your soul, fragrance in the shrouded shade; Since I've been favoured to hear you utter Words poured from a mysterious heart; Since I've seen tears, since I've seen smiles, Your mouth on my mouth, your eyes on mine; I can now say to the swift years: Roll on, roll ever on! I can age no more! Away with you and your withered flowers; In my soul I've a flower that none can gather! Should your wing jolt it, nothing will spill From the vessel where I drink and which I have filled. My soul has more fire than you have ashes! My heart has more love than you oblivion!
