Spleen(original) |
Quand le ciel bas et lourd pese comme un couvercle |
Sur l’esprit gemissant en proieaux longs ennuis, |
Et que de l’horizon embrassant tout le cercle |
Il nous verse un jour noir plus triste que les nuits; |
Quand la terre est changee en un cachot humide, |
Ou l’Esperance, comme une chauve-souris, |
S’en va battant les murs de son aile timide |
Et ce cognantla tete a des plafonds pourris; |
Quand la pluie etalant ses immenses trainees |
D’une vaste prison imite les barreaux, |
Et qu’un peuplemuet d’infames araignees |
Vient tendre ses filets au fond de nos cerveaux, |
Des cloches tout a coup sautent avec furie |
Et lancent vers le ciel un affreux hurlement, |
Ainsi que des esprits errants et sans patrie |
Qui se mettent a geindre opiniatrement. |
(translation) |
When the low heavy sky weighs like a lid |
On the mind moaning in long woes, |
And that of the horizon embracing the whole circle |
He pours us a black day sadder than the nights; |
When the earth is turned into a damp dungeon, |
Or Hope, like a bat, |
Goes beating the walls of its timid wing |
And this head-banging has rotten ceilings; |
When the rain spreading its immense streaks |
Of a vast prison imitates the bars, |
And a mute people of infamous spiders |
Comes to cast its nets deep in our brains, |
Bells suddenly jump with fury |
And raise to the sky an awful howl, |
As well as wandering and homeless spirits |
Who start whining stubbornly. |
