The Sunset

---

How beautiful a new sun is when it rises,
flashing out its greeting, like an explosion!

• Happy, whoever hails with sweet emotion
  its descent, nobler than a dream, to our eyes!
  I remember! I’ve seen all, flower, furrow, fountain,
  swoon beneath its look, like a throbbing heart…
• Let’s run quickly, it’s late, towards the horizon,
  to catch at least one slanting ray as it departs!
  But I pursue the vanishing God in vain:
  irresistible Night establishes its sway,
  full of shudders, black, dismal, cold:
  an odour of the tomb floats in the shadow,
  at the swamp’s edge, feet faltering I go,
  bruising damp slugs, and unexpected toads.
