Michel Deguy

GREATER INTIMACY WITH THE STARS

Greater intimacy with the stars
And in the deeper sounded night
In the night closer drawn the earth
Emerges into the sun that enlarged star

At the heart of night day
Night of night knows
A star more brilliant

GREATER INTIMACY WITH THE STARS

Intimité plus grande avec les astres
Et dans la nuit sondée plus profond
Dans la nuit rapprochée la terre
Débouche sur le soleil cette étoile agrandie

Au cœur de la nuit le jour
Nuit de la nuit connaît
Une étoile plus brillante
Close

GREATER INTIMACY WITH THE STARS

Greater intimacy with the stars
And in the deeper sounded night
In the night closer drawn the earth
Emerges into the sun that enlarged star

At the heart of night day
Night of night knows
A star more brilliant

GREATER INTIMACY WITH THE STARS

Greater intimacy with the stars
And in the deeper sounded night
In the night closer drawn the earth
Emerges into the sun that enlarged star

At the heart of night day
Night of night knows
A star more brilliant
