La chevelure vol d'une flamme

оригинал


Stéphane Mallarmé
The Flight of Flaming Hair

The flight of flaming hair at the extreme
West of desires unfurling it forth
Comes to rest (as it were a dying diadem)
On the crowned brow its ancient hearth
Then sigh for no gold but this cloud that lives
The Kindling of an interior flame
Originally the only one it gives
To the truthful or laughing eye its gleam

The tender nudity of heroes demeans
The one on whose fingers no stars wave of fires
Whose dazzling head is the only means
By which woman simplified with glory conspires

To sow with rubies the doubt she would scorch
In the manner of a joyous and tutelary torch.”
