The stopped



clock Clock from which the
Vibrating hour started, passing through pure gold,
Like a bird singing or crying
In a tree where its nest is safe,
Your breath equal and sonorous
In the cold dial no longer beats:
Does everything go out like dawn
Of the beautiful days only on your forehead I have read?

Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, Elegies
