"Purify" - Kathleen Raine (1908-2003)

Purify my sorrow,
Weeping rain,
Clouds that blow
Away over countries where none know
From whose heart world’s tears flow.
Purify
My sorrow, bright beams
Of the sun’s light that travels for ever away
From here and now, where I lie.
Purify
Heart’s sorrow in the dust, int the grave
And furrow where the corn is sown,
End and beginning.
Purifier I cry
With the breath of the living,
Loud as despair, or low


"Eternity"- William Blake:

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
As a sigh, voice
Of the air, of the winds
That sound for ever in the harmony of the stars.

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Traduction pour les frenchies: "Dans un grain de sable voir un monde
et dans chaque fleur des champs le Paradis,
faire tenir l'infini dans la paume de la main
et l'Éternité dans une heure"
