Author of quotes: Gerard de Nerval



Déjà les beaux jours, la poussière,
Un ciel d'azur et de lumière
Enflammés Les murs, les longs soirs;
Et rien de vert: à peine encore
Un reflet rougeâtre décore
Les grands arbres aux rameaux noirs!
Ce beau temps me pèse et m ennuie,
Ce n'est qu après des jours de pluie
Que doit surgir, en un tableau,
Le printemps et rose verdissant;
Comme une nymphe fraîche éclose,
Qui souriante, sort de l'eau.




Warm and dusty, blue without edge,
And, the walls are dimly stained
Sunsets smolder late
But you will not find sheets green:
Only a reddish smoke on the crowns
And the network of branches, black-black.
I these days only trays:
I'm waiting for a thunderstorm, fun showers,-
Then, relieved of their anxiety from sleep,
Like the female-the Naiad
In pink and green outfit
From the depths emerges a spring.

Courbé par le travail ou par la destinée,
L'homme à sa voix s'élève et son front s éclaircit;
Impatient Toujours dans sa course bornée,
Un sourire le dompte et son coeur s adoucit.




The man is a warrior. He fate
In eternal strife. Heavy, hard fight.
But just hear the voice, heart, honey, -
Flies to the call of the birds carefree.

Une femme est l'amour, la gloire et l'espérance;
Aux enfants qu'elle guide à l'homme consolé,
Elle'élève le coeur calme et la souffrance,
Comme un esprit des cieux exilé sur la terre.




Love and Woman are two inseparable words
After all, only a mother to love a child is ready
Wife - support husband durable to be
And inspire, and to appease.

Je suis le Ténébreux, - le Veuf, - l Inconsolé,
Le Prince d'aquitaine à la Tour abolie:
Ma seule Etoile est morte, -
Et mon luth constellé
Porte le Soleil noir de la Mélancolie.




I am of darkness - widower - ridden,
The Prince of Aquitaine of the ruined tower,
My only star is death,
And my embellished stars lute
Bears the black sun of Melancholy.

Il était paresseux, à ce que dit l'histoire,
Il laissait trop sécher l'encre dans l écritoire.
Il voulait tout savoir mais il n a rien connu.
Et quand vint le moment où, las de cette vie,
Un soir d'hiver, enfin l'âme lui fut ravie,
Il s'en alla disant: "Pourquoi suis-je venu?"




Ah, laziness is often the soul of his sin,
He left to dry in the ink the ink
He learned little, though he was fond of all
But in a quiet winter day, when from mortal life
He was called to another, as they say, immortal,
He went out, whispered: "I came, why?"

Il a vécu tantôt gai comme un sansonnet,
Tour à tour insoucieux amoureux et tendre,
Tantôt sombre et rêveur comme un triste Clitandre,
Un jour il entendit qu à sa porte sonnait on.




He lived his life something fun, like a Starling,
So sad and in love, in a strange carefree,
That like no other, as hundreds of hundreds of...
And Death knocked at the door finally.

Think, man! You see one
Granted a soul? Because life - it all begins.
You will have, and forces you a lot,
But the world all your advice useless.
Seeing any creature, give it the mind:
Any flower soul nature crowned,
The mystery of love contained in the piece of metal.
"Everything in the world feels!" Subject to you all.
Walls and blind fear, they pierce the eye,
Matter itself in itself, the verb carries...
It is not necessary to honor a blasphemous rite!
But the spirit of God is sometimes hidden in the objects;
Barriers dense century - before the invisible eye
And in the hidden block of stone of pure reason.
Quote Explanation: Translated from the French of Alexander Revich. The series "Chimera", 1854.
