VOWELS / VOYELLES

A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: vowels,
A noir, E blanc, I rouge, U vert, O bleu: voyelles,


A a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

A, black velvety jacket of brilliant flies
A, noir corset velu des mouches éclatantes





E e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

E, whiteness of vapours and of tents,

lances of proud glaciers, white kings, shivers of cow-parsley;


E, candeurs des vapeurs et des tentes,
Lances des glaciers fiers, rois blancs, frissons d'ombelles;





I i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

I, purples, spat blood, smile of beautiful lips
in anger or in the raptures of penitence;


I, pourpres, sang craché, rire des lèvres belles
Dans la colère ou les ivresses pénitentes;









U u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u

U, waves, divine shudderings of viridian seas
U, cycles, vibrements divins des mers virides







O o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

O, sublime Trumpet full of strange piercing sounds,
O, suprême Clairon plein des strideurs étranges









O the Omega! the violet ray of [His] Eyes
O l'Oméga, rayon violet de [Ses] Yeux




Vowels

A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: vowels,

I shall tell, one day, of your mysterious origins:

A, black velvety jacket of brilliant flies

which buzz around cruel smells,


Gulfs of shadow; E, whiteness of vapours and of tents,

lances of proud glaciers, white kings, shivers of cow-parsley;

I, purples, spat blood, smile of beautiful lips

in anger or in the raptures of penitence;


U, waves, divine shudderings of viridian seas,

the peace of pastures dotted with animals, the peace of the furrows

which alchemy prints on broad studious foreheads;


O, sublime Trumpet full of strange piercing sounds,

silences crossed by [Worlds and by Angels]:

–O the Omega! the violet ray of [His] Eyes!



Voyelles

A noir, E blanc, I rouge, U vert, O bleu: voyelles,
Je dirai quelque jour vos naissances latentes:
A, noir corset velu des mouches éclatantes
Qui bombinent autour des puanteurs cruelles,

Golfes d'ombre; E, candeurs des vapeurs et des tentes,
Lances des glaciers fiers, rois blancs, frissons d'ombelles;
I, pourpres, sang craché, rire des lèvres belles
Dans la colère ou les ivresses pénitentes;

U, cycles, vibrements divins des mers virides,
Paix des pâtis semés d'animaux, paix des rides
Que l'alchimie imprime aux grands fronts studieux;

O, suprême Clairon plein des strideurs étranges,
Silences traversés des [Mondes et des Anges]:
— O l'Oméga, rayon violet de [Ses] Yeux !

Arthur Rimbaud, (1854-1891)
