LAST POEM by Robert Desnos Translated from the French by X. J. Kennedy I have so fiercely dreamed of you And walked so far and spoken of you so, Loved a shade of you so hard That now I've no more left of you. I'm left to be a shade among the shades A hundred times more shade than shadeTo be shade cast time and time again into your sun-transfigured life. "The eye sees a thing more clearly in dreams than imagination awake." --Leonardo da Vinci "Hope is a waking dream." --Aristotle "To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." --David Viscott |
