Nuits
(Nuit de Grande Ourse et de velours) (English Translation)

Text from Didier Rimaud (1922-2003) [France]



Night of the Big Dipper and velvet night,
Night of the cicada and of the cricket, Night filled with night birds
Night of the fireflies in fire, Night of the always working hills,
Night of the roots, which are digging the earth,
Night of the seed still at the fruit ,
Night of the groove, in which life is lying dormant,
Night of the origin preceeding time,
Night that gives birth to the mornings,
Night that says to the night, without any word, without any cry,
The mystery of the human being waiting for birth.
Nights! O nights!
