Le Tombeau de Théophile Gautier…
“ But where they hear the singing of the sun All form, all sound, all colour and all thought Are as one body and soul in unison. There the song sung shines as a picture wrought, The painted mouths sing that on earth say nought, The carven limbs have sense of blood and growth And large-eyed life that seeks nor lacks not aught. There all the music of thy living mouth Lives, and all loves wrought of thine hand in youth And bound about the breasts and brows with gold And coloured pale or dusk from north or south. ”
