Un voile de piété - a photo on Flickriver

'Un voile de piété' More details : Large On Black

"(...)
Aussi, dès qu'en entier ton âme m'eut saisie,
Tu fus ma piété ! Mon ciel ! Ma poésie !
Aussi, sans te parler, je te nomme souvent
Mon frère devant Dieu ! Mon âme ! Ou mon enfant !
Tu ne sauras jamais, comme je sais moi-même,
A quelle profondeur je t'atteins et je t'aime !
Tu serais par la mort arraché de mes voeux,
Que pour te ressaisir mon âme aurait des yeux,
Des lueurs, des accents, des larmes, des prières,
Qui forceraient la mort à rouvrir tes paupières !
(...)"

[Marceline DESBORDES-VALMORE] - élégies (Avant toi)

"And, as soon as your heart had seized me in entirety
You became my piety! My sky! My poetry!
And, without speaking of you, I name you often
My brother before God! My soul! Or my child!
You will never know, as I know myself,
To what depth I reach out to you and love you!
You would be wrenched by death from my wishes,
For to seize you again my soul would have eyes,
Gleams, accents, tears, prayers,
Which would force death to reopen your eyes!"

Very kindly translated by Lynn with my warmest thanks...
