Translation: Sonorous immensity of the seas of Harmony Where dreams like ships that shake in the profound, Voyage to the unknown, their sails bent to infinity, Billowing with anguish in the gusts of Sound. — "Pendant qu’elle chantait", from Les gammes, translated by Catherine Perry and Henry Weinfield in The White Tomb: Selected Writing, Talisman House, 1999.
