L'âme évaporée et souffrante
The fanting, suffereing soul


L'âme évaporée et souffrante,
L'âme douce, l'âme odorante
Des lys divins que j'ai cueillis
Dans le jardin de ta pensée,
Où donc les vents l'ont-ils chassée,
Cette âme adorable des lys?


The fainting, suffering soul,
the gentle soul, the perfumed soul
of the divine lilies that I picked
in the garden of your thought,
whither have the winds scattered them,
that adorable soul of the lilies?


N'est-il plus un parfum qui reste
De la suavité céleste
Des jours où tu m'enveloppais
D'une vapeur surnaturelle,
Faite d'espoir, d'amour fidèle,
De béatitude et de paix?


Does not a breath of scent survive
of the celestial sweetness
of those days when you enfolded me
in an otherwordly vapour,
a blend of hope, of faithful love,
of blessedness and peace?


- Paul Bourget

Love. What does it mean - has too many faces, driving hearts to blood-boiling extremes of agony and passion among confusion and misunderstandings - ah, sighs, tear-soaked - drugs one's soul, like morphine, yet it seems so real, so real that it might suffocate one to sweet and miserable and longing
death.
