EnglishA Woman- a bird
Poem of fourteen lines written by the artist describing a bird bearing a 'message' which can easily be associated with the subject matter of several of his engravings and paintings depicting a young person holding a bird.
Translation into English by Louise, April 2013.
A woman
A bird
What foreboding
What message comes from
You, bird of joy
Or of sorrow
Your wings are in flower yet
Your eye is tearful
What are you telling me?
I believe you are saying
I believe that you are whispering
Silently
The immensity that are the celestial walls.
Roger Descombes
