Couchcast: Mathilde Berry lit La tombe dit a la Rose de Victor Hugo
Notre premier Couchcast en français!
Mathilde Berry lit La Tombe Dit à la Rose de Victor Hugo – devant une des ses ouvres.
La tombe dit à la rose :
— Des pleurs dont l’aube t’arrose
Que fais-tu, fleur des amours ?
La rose dit à la tombe :
— Que fais-tu de ce qui tombe
Dans ton gouffre ouvert toujours ?
La rose dit: — Tombeau sombre,
De ces pleurs je fais dans l’ombre
Un parfum d’ambre et de miel.
La tombe dit: — Fleur plaintive,
De chaque âme qui m’arrive
Je fais un ange du ciel.
Mathilde also reads the English translation ‘The Grave and the Rose’ Mathilde is reading the poem in front of one of her own paintings.
The Grave and The Rose
The Grave said to the Rose,
“What of the dews of dawn,
Love’s flower, what end is theirs?”
“And what of spirits flown,
The souls whereon doth close
The tomb’s mouth unawares?”
The Rose said to the Grave.
The Rose said, “In the shade
From the dawn’s tears is made
A perfume faint and strange,
Amber and honey sweet.”
“And all the spirits fleet
Do suffer a sky-change,
More strangely than the dew,
To God’s own angels new,”
The Grave said to the Rose
