le temps faucheur... Where art thou Muse that thou forget'st so long, To speak of that which gives thee all thy might? Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song, Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light? Return forgetful Muse, and straight...

Soleil levant Why is my verse so barren of new pride, So far from variation or quick change? Why with the time do I not glance aside To new-found methods, and to compounds strange? Why write I still all one, ever the same, And keep invention in a noted...

DH Lawrence lit Shakespeare
D. H. Lawrence, (11 Septembre 1885 - 2 mars 1930 When I read Shakespeare I am struck with wonder that such trivial people should muse and thunder in such lovely language. Lear, the old buffer, you wonder his daughters didn't treat him rougher, the old...

Sonnet 12
Marcel, un autre connaisseur des pertes du temps. When I do count the clock that tells the time, And see the brave day sunk in hideous night; When I behold the violet past prime, And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white; When lofty trees I see barren...

Jhannes Vermeer La,jeune fille à la perle (1665) Est-ce la beauté pour vous? For shame deny that thou bear'st love to any, Who for thy self art so unprovident. Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many, But that thou none lov'st is most evident:...

Boulevard Montmartre, Matinée de Printemps par Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest Now is the time that face should form another; Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest, Thou dost beguile the world, unbless...

Sonnet 9
Un Panier-percé. Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye, That thou consum'st thy self in single life? Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die, The world will wail thee like a makeless wife; The world will be thy widow and still weep That thou no form of thee...

Rosier des Chiens ou Rosier des haies ou Églantier des chiens ou Rosa canina O! how much more doth beauty beauteous seem By that sweet ornament which truth doth give. The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem For that sweet odour, which doth in it live....

Sonnet 5
II y a de l'hiver dans ce sonnet. Avez-vous vu le film Béliers et son hiver Islandais? Those hours, that with gentle work did frame The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell, Will play the tyrants to the very same And that unfair which fairly doth excel;...

Pierre Bruegel l'ancien, Chasseurs dans la neige 1565 When forty winters shall beseige thy brow, And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field, Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now, Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held: Then being ask'd where...

Sandro Botticelli la calomnie d'Apelle (1495) That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair; The ornament of beauty is suspect, A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air. So thou be good, slander doth but approve...

Ménélas et Hélène, cratère attique vers 450-440 av.J.C. What is your substance, whereof are you made, That millions of strange shadows on you tend? Since every one hath, every one, one shade, And you but one, can every shadow lend. Describe Adonis, and...

Certains sonnets sont liés au numéro que Will leur a donné, pas celui-ci, malgré toutes les symboliques de ce 40. Take all my loves, my love, yea take them all; What hast thou then more than thou hadst before? No love, my love, that thou mayst true love...

loin, peut-être... If the dull substance of my flesh were thought, Injurious distance should not stop my way; For then despite of space I would be brought, From limits far remote, where thou dost stay. No matter then although my foot did stand Upon the...

'Life is but a walking shadow' Macneth Acte 5. scène 5. When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see, For all the day they view things unrespected; But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee, And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed. Then thou,...

L'amble du cheval So shall I live, supposing thou art true, Like a deceived husband; so love's face May still seem love to me, though altered new; Thy looks with me, thy heart in other place: For there can live no hatred in thine eye, Therefore in that...

Calliopé, la muse du poète. If thou survive my well-contented day, When that churl Death my bones with dust shall cover And shalt by fortune once more re-survey These poor rude lines of thy deceased lover, Compare them with the bett'ring of the time And...

Est-ce une promesse de repos...? How can I then return in happy plight, That am debarred the benefit of rest? When day's oppression is not eas'd by night, But day by night and night by day oppressed, And each, though enemies to either's reign, Do in consent...

'C'est qu'un matin d'avril, un beau cavalier pâle, Un pauvre fou, s'assit muet à tes genoux !' Arthur Rimbaud (Ophélia) A woman's face with nature's own hand painted, Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion; A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted...

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines... Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven...

Frederic Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) 'Ceux qui croient à l'astrologie, sont ceux qui croient que l'univers a été créé autour d'eux' Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck; And yet methinks I have Astronomy, But not to tell of good or evil luck, Of plagues,...

Jérôme de Stridon, saint patron des traducteurs (né vers 347, mort en 420); ici l'un des tableaux que Caravaggio lui a consacré en 1606. Comme l’interprète imparfait d’une page que la crainte des mots emmène à l’envers du sens des rimes toutes gonflées...

Le Chevalier d'Éon (1728 - 1810) un autre hésitant entre deux sexes O! that you were your self; but, love, you are No longer yours, than you your self here live: Against this coming end you should prepare, And your sweet semblance to some other give:...

Picasso, Autoportrait 1972 As fast as thou shalt wane, so fast thou grow'st In one of thine, from that which thou departest; And that fresh blood which youngly thou bestow'st, Thou mayst call thine when thou from youth convertest. Herein lives wisdom,...
