Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Compagne de l'éther, indolente fumée, Je te ressemble un peu... Ta vie est d'un instant, la mienne est consumée; Mais nous sortons du feu. L'homme, pour subsister, en recueillant la cendre, Qu'il use ses genoux, Sans plus nous soucier et sans jamais descendre, Évanouissons-nous!
