Passion Occulte
Mon bonheur s’appelle jeune fleur,
Amie de mes jours, rêve de mes nuits.
Mourra le vieux monde, vivra notre amour.
Demain je poserai sur ses lèvres tendres
Dix baisers, pour la servir mille jours, mois,
Ans, siècles, pour l’éternité. CONTINUE READING / CONTINUER LA LECTURE…

After Plotinus, by Fabian Strachan Woodley
Fabian Strachan Woodley (b. 19 July 1888, d. 8 August 1957) was a British poet who published only one book of verses, A Crown of Friendship (1921). He was a late representative of the ‘Uranian’ school of male poets who exalted the love of boys. As writes a website devoted to Woodley, “Like the other ‘Uranian’ poets, he declared that Boyhood was the only ideal worth following.” Indeed, many of his poems deal with boys he loved. According to the above-mentioned site, Woodley said: “I was a Poet and Dreamer and Lover and Boy with them.” CONTINUE READING / CONTINUER LA LECTURE…

Fleurs de sang
La blessure de la passion ne se refermera jamais… bonheur de nos plaies éternelles… nous veillerons toujours dans la clarté de nos crépuscules rouges.
Perle étincelante de mes nuits immortelles,
Emblème de mes jours éternels,
Tu es venue, scintillant de mille feux,
Illuminer mes pas de verre…
Tu es venue, mon étoile d’amour,
Embraser mon âme tremblante de désir.
Love, by Nathalia Crane
In this beautiful short piece from The Janitor’s boy, and Other Poems, little Nathalia tells how she and her friend fell a sudden romantic attraction for a handsome ice-cream seller. Very sensuously, she called him “very scrumptious,” as if he was himself an ice-cream. Here Flatbush is a neighbourhood of Brooklyn in New York City. CONTINUE READING / CONTINUER LA LECTURE…
À Mademoiselle de Saint-S***, par Choderlos de Laclos
Pierre Ambroise François Choderlos de Laclos (1741–1803) combina une carrière d’officier avec une d’écrivain, et il reste surtout connu pour son fameux roman épistolaire, Les Liaisons dangereuses, paru en 1782. Cependant il composa aussi des poèmes, dont un recueil fut publié en 1908 par Arthur Symons et Louis Thomas. La majorité de ceux-ci traitent de l’amour, souvent sur un ton badin, voire licencieux.

Nathalia Crane, love and poetry at nine
I will present here another girl poet who, like her contemporaries Hilda Conkling and Sabine Sicaud and the next generation’s Minou Drouet, started writing poetry at a very young age. But unlike Hilda Conkling and Minou Drouet, she did not give up poetry in her teenage years, and unlike Sabine Sicaud who died from a horrible disease at age 15, she lived for 85 years, writing poems and novels, also working as a professor of English at San Diego State University.

Tes yeux noirs, ton regard
