Poem of the day

Jean Antoine de Baif

Mets-Moi Dessus La Mer D'Où Le Soleil Se Lève

Mets-moi dessus la mer d'où le soleil se lève, Ou près du bord de l'onde où sa flamme s'éteint ; Mets-moi au pays froid, où sa chaleur n'atteint, Ou sur les sablons cuits que son chaud rayon grève ; Mets-moi en long ennui, mets-moi en joie brève, En franche liberté, en servage contraint ; Soit que libre je sois, ou prisonnier rétreint, En assurance, ou doute, ou en guerre ou en trêve ; Mets-moi au pied plus bas ou sur les hauts sommets Des monts plus élevés, ô Méline, et me mets En une triste nuit ou en gaie lumière ; Mets-moi dessus le ciel, dessous terre mets-moi, Je serai toujours même, et ma dernière foi Se trouvera toujours pareille à la première.

The Symphony in the Silence

There really is sound in the silence... You need only open your eyes, and your heart. Written for a friend who is completely deaf.
