To resurrect some sunset favored by doves,

Some flushed reflection of my docile childhood,

An evening that trails after a rag of cloud
An evening that trails after a rag of cloud
Some flushed reflection of my docile childhood,
Some flushed reflection of my docile childhood,
Dipping a long flush of shame in the emerald? —Paul Valéry, translated by David Paul
