Your
greatness, image of the infinite, is as wide-ranging as the research of the
philosopher, as a woman's love, as the divine beauty of a bird,
as the contemplation of a poet. You are more beautiful than the night. (Apostrophe
to the Ocean)
'Ta
grandeur morale, image de l'infini, est immense comme la réflexion du
philosophe, comme l'amour de la femme, comme la beauté divine de l'oiseau,
comme les méditations du poète. Tu es plus beau que la nuit.'
-- Les Chants de Maldoror. Lautréamont.
