“From Pamplona, I'm the loon
scared of the laughter of the cunning Moon,
under the crepe of world-pain that won't pass…
For – o terror! – all is under a jar of glass.”

Je suis le fou de Pampelune,<br>J'ai peur du rire de la Lune,<br>Cafarde, avec son crêpe noir...<br>Horreur ! tout est donc sous un éteignoir. <br class="br"> Heures, http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Heures second stanza, from Les Amours jaunes (1873).

“I've begged more than a starved beggar and dearly miss my princess mi amore cadenza
And afraid of the laughter of the cunning Moon, the fierce hunter who starves himself to win the prey,
Under the threat of things that will never pass…
For all terror is nothing more than nightmares that are made manifest for forever in the prison that is a false reality.”
