I have kept so patient

And the degenerate thirst

The forever I forget.
The forever I forget.
Fears and sufferings
Fears and sufferings
To the heavens have risen.
To the heavens have risen.
And the degenerate thirst
And the degenerate thirst
Darkens my veins. —Arthur Rimbaud, translated by Delmore Schwartz
