Les réverbères en enfilade . ” from Le Miroir du Ciel Natal Les réverbères en enfilade Ont allumé leurs pensives veilleuses Quotidiennes, Formant un jeu d’ombres silencieuses Qui vont et viennent . . La Ville est-elle plus malade Le soir? On dirait qu’il fait plus noir; Le vent a l’air de plaindre Quelqu’un qui ne guérira plus; Une petite cloche tinte Le dernier angélus; L’air est sonore à cause du silence; Les peupliers, dont la cime s’élance, Ont peur de faire trop de bruit; Et les passants embrument leur marche Comme dans une chambre, autour d’un lit .

Sweet! you smother and enfeeble All of the tumult, shapes, uproar; Wavering snow, you seem to vanish, Far, most far away, in the haze of the streets! And you die the death, for which we have prayed, A white end, thoughtful, pious, serene, A pardoned death, which slowly tells page 26 Donald Flanell Friedman: Belgian Symbolism, an Anthology page 27 Georges Rodenbach “L’Eau, pour qui souffre .
