| SI PROCHE ... | SO CLOSE ... |
| José-Flore Tappy | trans. Patrick Williamson |
|
Si proche la plainte jamais tarie des veuves sur leurs morts elles tiennent leur peine comme une canne devant elles soliloque sur les pierres |
So close the everflowing lament of widows over their dead they hold their sorrow like a cane in front of them soliloquizes on the stones |
