“Le silence est l’âme des choses
Qui veulent garder leur secret.
Il s’en va quand le jour paraît,
Et revient dans les couchants roses.”
(M. Rollinat in Le silence)
Oupeye (B)
Fisherman’s Friends
This is where ships are eaten
“In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay,
On sluggish, lonesome waters, anchor’d near the shore,
An old, dismasted, gray and batter’d ship, disabled, done,
After free voyages to all the seas of earth, haul’d up at last and
hawser’d tight,
Lies rusting, mouldering.”
(Walt Whitman in The dismantled ship)
