GEOMETRIE DE LA MORT

RÊVERIE SUR LE TAROT DE GERARD DE NERVAL




"The dead leave quickly on the evening air !" said Bürger in his ballad of Lenore, translated so well by Gérard de Nerval, but they do not leave so quickly, our beloved dead, that we do not remind ourselves, for a long time, of their passage to the horizon, where they cast their fantastical, elusive, black silhouette on the enormous, round moon.
Théophile Gautier
