Edge

Why this loved formula comes back
“At the edge of the world once more”
What is edge, what is ‘edge’, being on edge
The edge in Baudelaire and
The princes’ terrace in Rimbaud
With a view of the world and all as if
Come and come again

Bord

Bord

Pourquoi revient cette formule aimée
“Au bord du monde encore une fois”
Qu’est ce bord, qu’est ce ‘bord’, être-au-bord
La bordure chez Baudelaire et
La terrasse des princes de Rimbaud
Avec vue sur le monde et le tout comme
Ayant passé par ici qui repassera par là
Close

The edge in Baudelaire and
The princes’ terrace in Rimbaud
With a view of the world and all as if
Come and come again
