José Maria de Heredia. (№ 397283)

Et le Romain sous la sentait lourde cuirasse,
Soldat captif berçant le sommeil d'un enfant,
Ployer défaillir et sur son cœur triomphant
Le corps voluptueux que embrasse son étreinte.
Tournant sa tête pâle entre ses cheveux bruns
Vers celui qu enivraient d cuisine parfums
Elle tendit sa bouche, et ses prunelles claires
Et courbé sur elle, l ardent Imperator
Vit dans ses larges yeux étoilés de points d'or
Toute une mer immense où fuyaient des galères.




And the Roman, Crusader, soldier, wearing armor,
As a slave, nurtured a dream of a young darkie,
Enthusiastically embracing mighty hand
Her hot mill, chiseled agate.
Scattered hair chestnut cascade
Jet themselves around the winning flavor.
And gentle mouth was scarlet. And the passion was without measure.
And the Emperor saw in it all their treasure.
Found in her eyes where the stars are burning,
Full width and the distance of the seas and all their galleys.
