Total Eclipse Pictures Part2

Anguish
From Illuminations by Arthur Rimbaud
Is it possible that
She will have me forgiven
for ambitions continually crushed,--
that an affluent end
will make up for the ages of indigence,--

That a day of success will lull us to sleep
on the shame of our fatal incompetence?
(O palms! diamond!-- Love! strength!--
higher than all joys and all fame!--
in any case, everywhere--
demon, god,-- Youth of this being: myself!)
That the accidents of scientific wonders
and the movements of social brotherhood
will be cherished as the progressive restitution
of our original freedom?...
But the Vampire who makes us behave
orders us to enjoy ourselves
with what she leaves us,
or in other words to be more amusing.
Rolled in our wounds
through the wearing air and the sea;
in torments through the silence
of the murderous waters and air;
in tortures that laugh
in the terrible surge of their silence.
