A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: vowels,
I will say one day your mysterious origins:
A, black velvety jacket of brilliant flies which buzz
around cruel smells, Gulfs of
shadow E, whiteness of vapors and tents,
Lances of proud glaciers, white kings, shivers of umbels;
I, purples, spat blood, laugh of beautiful lips
In anger or penitent drunkenness;
U, cycles, divine vibrations of the seas,
peace of pastures dotted with animals, Peace Wrinkle
That alchemy prints on broad studious foreheads;
O, sublime Trumpet full of strange piercing sounds, Silences crossed
Worlds and Angels:
- O the Omega, violet ray of Her Eyes! -
[ Vowels / Arthur Rimbaud, 1871]
A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: vowels,
I would one day your latent birth:
A, Black hairy corset of shining flies
That buzz around cruel fetideces,
Gulfs of shadow; E, whiteness of vapors and of tents, Lances
fierce glaciers, white kings, shivers of Ombella ;
I, purples, spat blood, laugh of beautiful lips
ebriedades in anger or sensual
U cycles, divine vibrations of greenish sea, Peace
field sown with animals, peace of wrinkles
That alchemy prints studious brows;
O, full trumpet fanfare ultimate strange silence
crossed by worlds and angels
- O the Omega, violet ray of His Eyes!
