Winter's edge flurries -
snowflakes converge,
a carpet of fox scavenged litter
re-emerging like
iced puddles of hubris.

Whilst The Christmas message is relayed
Rebecca erects a humming line
to keep away the crows and parquets
from her prized cabbage and kale.
but the threadbare sound is
reminiscent of cymbals,
carrying thoughts of a lost carnival.

She journeyed to the coast
and caught an amateur performance of the
"Seven Deadly Sins", in and out of situ.
The deserted beach, ghostly 
yet littered with wicker creels
the fisherman their whispers silenced,
better console with tomorrow's wise
in hope of an  epiphany.
Entrez dans les palais grands ouverts à la foule ;
Un jour limpide y luit, l'heure paisible y coule,
Le pied rit au miroir des parquets précieux,
Et ****, dans le plafonds aussi hauts que les cieux,
Bleu séjour de la muse et du Dieu sous les voiles,
L'œil voit trembler des chars, des luths et des étoiles.

Sous la voûte, sur les paliers,
Par les rampes en fleurs et les grands escaliers,
Un courant d'air vaste circule,
Et douce est la fraîcheur où vous marchez,
Parmi le peuple blanc des marbres recherchés :
Saluez, c'est Vénus ; admirez, c'est Hercule !

Comme vous reposez les yeux,
Ô blancheur sombre des musées !
La fièvre de nos sens expire dans ces lieux,
Et nos âmes y sont largement amusées.

Ô génie, ô lent créateur,
Comme Dieu fait courir la sève dans les arbres,
Tu fais courir la vie aux lignes des beaux marbres ;
Et sur la pierre, à la hauteur
Des bras de la statue ou du col de l'amphore,
L'œil croit voir voltiger encore
Les mains illustres du sculpteur.

Alors notre cœur se rappelle
Le temps d'Auguste, l'âge où florissait Apelle !
Tout ceux dont un laurier pressait le front puissant,
Le pnyx sonore où rit la troupe des esclaves,
Les toges du forum, les plis des laticlaves,
César spirituelI Sophocle éblouissant !

Rome, Athène ! O palais que la colline élève !
Vous, Romains, vous sculptez à la pointe du glaive ;
Et vous qui soupez chez les dieux,
Vous possédez la grâce et vous la versez toute,
Athéniens, et c'est chez vous que l'âme écoute
Le grand hymne muet qui chante pour les yeux,
Le long des lignes, sous la voûte
De vos temples mélodieux.

Des anciens, endormis au bruit frais des fontaines,
Les âmes en rêvait se promènent ici,
Caressant tous les fronts d'un regret adouci,
Et font, sur les lèvres hautaines
Des Romains et des Grecs et de Tibère aussi,
Chuchoter un long flot de paroles lointaines.

Ô belle antiquité, toute nouvelle encor !
Berce-nous de tes bons murmures,
Comme une abeille d'or,
Que l'été de Paris prendrait aux roses mûres
Pour la jeter en Prairial,
Grisée
Et bourdonnante, autour de la salle apaisée,
Où, visiteur royal,
Par la vitre embrasée au feu de ses prouesses,
Le baiser du soleil vient dorer les déesses.
