DAWN
I embraced the summer dawn. Nothing stirred on the face of the palaces. The water was still. Crowds of shadows lingered on the road to the woods. I walked, dreaming the warm, brisk winds, and precious stones looked on, and wings soared in silence. The first venture, on the path already full of fresh and pale glitterings, was a flower who told me her name. I laughed at the white waterfall dishevelled through the pine trees: at its silvery summit I recognized the goddess. Then, one by one, I lifted her veils. In the pathway, waving my arms. In the open field, where I betrayed her to the cock. In the city she fled amid the steeples and the domes, and running like a beggar on the marble piers, I chased her. At the top of the road, near a wood of laurels, I wrapped her in her mass of veils, and felt a little of her immense body. Dawn and the child fell at the edge of the woods. When I awoke it was noon. — Arthur Rimbaud, Illuminations (1875) Uploaded 1 year ago - Featuring tracks by Tiago Sousa, Kristin Rule, Nils Frahm & Anne Müller , Rafael Anton Irisarri & Goldmund, Brian Eno and more  |  Listeners also enjoyedEnjoying Mixcloud?Join with Facebook Do you like us? |
