A Wise Old Owl



A wise old owl sat in an oak,
The more he heard, the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard;
Why aren't we all like that wise old bird?

Jules Laforgue - Triste, Triste (French Poem)

-
Jules Laforgue - Triste, Triste This Poem is another one that expresses sorrow.The title itself means “Sad, Sad” and this work by French symbolist poet Jules Laforgue is all about contemplating sadness in life. When you’re down and troubled and need a sorrowful yet beautiful French poem to keep you company, look no further. Triste, Triste Je contemple mon feu. J'étouffe un bâillement.Le vent pleure. La pluie à ma vitre ruisselle.Un piano voisin joue une ritournelle.Comme la vie est triste et coule lentement.Je songe à notre Terre, atome d'un moment,Dans l'infini criblé d'étoiles éternelles,Au peu qu'ont déchiffré nos débiles prunelles, Au Tout qui nous est clos inexorablement. Et notre sort! toujours la même comédie, Des vices, des chagrins, le spleen, la maladie, Puis nous allons fleurir les beaux pissenlits d'or. L'Univers nous reprend, rien de nous ne subsiste, Cependant qu'ici-bas tout continue encor. Comme nous sommes seuls!...

                                                                              At The Zoo There are lions and roaring tigers, and enormous camels and things, There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons, and a great big bear with wings. There's a sort of a tiny potamus, and a tiny nosserus too - But I gave buns to the elephant when I went down to the Zoo! There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers, and a Super-in-tendent's House, There are masses of goats, and a Polar, and different kinds of mouse, And I think there's a sort of a something which is called a wallaboo - But I gave buns to the elephant when I went down to the Zoo! If you try to talk to the bison, he never quite understands; You can't shake hands with a mingo - he doesn't like shakin...

Arthur Rimbaud - L'Eternité (French Poem)

-
Arthur Rimbaud - L'Eternité This  French poem is from one of the works of Arthur Rimbaud. This poem is rather thin in appearance but quite profound in meaning. But whether you choose to dissect the thought behind its words or simply enjoy the words as it is, there is definitely something about this poem that tugs at one’s heartstrings. L'Eternité Elle est retrouvée.Quoi?—L'Eternité.C'est la mer alléeAvec le soleil. Ame sentinelle,Murmurons l'aveuDe la nuit si nulleEt du jour en feu. Des humains suffrages, Des communs élans Là tu te dégages Et voles selon. Puisque de vous seules, Braises de satin, Le Devoir s'exhale Sans qu'on dise: enfin. Là pas d'espérance, Nul orietur. Science avec patience, Le supplice est sûr. Elle est retrouvée. Quoi?—L'Eternité. C'est la mer allée Avec le soleil. Eternity It has been rediscovered.What? Eternity.It is the sea fled with the sun. Sentinel soul,We whisper confessionOf the e...
