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.
