SONNET, by STEPHANE MALLARME Poem Explanation Poet's Biography
First Line: When winter on forgotten woods moves somber
Last Line: "my name in murmurs evening-long repeated."
First Line: When winter on forgotten woods moves somber
Last Line: "my name in murmurs evening-long repeated."
"When Winter on forgotten woods moves somber
you, lonely captive of the threshold, sigh
that this twin grave which is to be our pride
alas! but by lack of thick bouquets is cumbered.
Heedless when Midnight cast its vacant number
a vigil vaunts you not to close your eye
until within the ancient armchair, my
Shade is illumined by the final ember.
Who would receive the Visit must not load
too thick with flowers the stone my finger lifts
with ennui of a power that has decayed.
Soul, at the bright hearth trembling to be seated,
I live again, assuming from your lips
my name in murmurs evening-long repeated."
