ОглавлениеFormer Life
| I’ve lived beneath huge portals where marine Suns coloured, with a myriad fires, the waves; At eve majestic pillars made the scene Resemble those of vast basaltic caves. The breakers, rolling the reflected skies, Mixed, in a solemn, enigmatic way, The powerful symphonies they seem to play With colours of the sunset in my eyes. There did I live in a voluptuous calm Where breezes, waves, and splendours roved as vagrants; And naked slaves, impregnated with fragrance, Would fan my forehead with their fronds of palm: Their only charge was to increase the anguish Of secret grief in which I loved to languish. |
