Arthur Rimbaud - Lips Shut. Seen In RomeArthur Rimbaud - Lips Shut. Seen In Rome
Work rating: Low


In Rome within the Sistine Chapel, Covered over with Christian signs, There is a scarlet coloured casket Where most ancient noses dry: Noses of Thebaid ascetics, Noses of Sangreal canons In which livid night firmset is, And the old sepulchral anthems. Into their aridity mystical Is introduced each morningtide Some filthiness schismatical Ground into a powder fine. Léon Dierx Original French Les lèvres closes. Vu à Rome Il est, à Rome, à la Sixtine, Couverte d`emblèmes chrétiens, Une cassette écarlatine sèchent des nez fort anciens : Nez d`ascètes de Thébaïde, Nez de chanoines du Saint Graal se figea la nuit livide, Et l`ancien plain-chant sépulcral. Dans leur sécheresse mystique, Tous les matins, on introduit De l`immondice schismatique Qu`en poudre fine on a réduit. Léon Dierx.
