Colloque

sentimental

Dans

le vieux parc solitaire et glacé

Deux formes ont tout à

l’heure passé.

Leurs yeux sont morts et leurs lèvres

sont molles,

Et l’on entend à peine leurs paroles.

Dans

le vieux parc solitaire et glacé

Deux spectres ont évoqué le

passé.

– Te souvient-il de notre extase ancienne?

Pourquoi voulez-vous donc qu’il m’en souvienne?

Ton cœur bat-il toujours à mon seul nom?

Toujours vois-tu mon

âme en rêve? – Non.

Ah ! les beaux jours de bonheur

indicible

Où nous joignions nos bouches ! – C’est

possible.

– Qu’il était bleu, le ciel, et grand,

l’espoir !

– L’espoir a fui, vaincu, vers le ciel noir.

Tels

ils marchaient dans les avoines folles,

Et la nuit seule entendit leurs

paroles.

Heart

to heart

In the lonely cold old park

Two figures

have just passed.

Their eyes are dead, their lips are

slack,

We hardly hear their words.

In the lonely cold

old park

Two ghosts evoked the past.

- Remember our

old ecstasy?

- But why remember it?

- Your heart

beats faster at my name ?

Still see me in your dreams? -

No.

Ah! the days of blissful joy

When our lips

touched ! - Perhaps.

- The sky was blue and hope was

great!

- Hope has fled, beaten, to the black sky.

They

wandered like this through the wild grass

And only the night

heard their words.

Set to music by Debussy

It depends of course on the criteria for admission. The authors who are there were chosen for

"Major authors whose works and commitments defend the values of republican justice and tolerance: Victor Hugo, Émile Zola and Alexandre Dumas"

not simply for literary merit as such..
