Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) Translated by Robert Friend
Feelings
I shall walk on blue summer
evenings through murmuring fields, and tread the short grass and feel the prickle of wheat, and lost in a dream feel the wind as it bathes my
bare head, and feel a coolness like water lap at my feet. And I shall be silent and
think of nothing at all but infinite love will mount in my soul like a sea, and I like a gypsy shall wander into the
blue— happy as if a woman were there with me. | ||
