Poids des pierres, des pensées

Songes et montagnes
n’ont pas même balance

Nous habitons encore un autre monde
Peut-être l’intervalle

Phillipe Jaccottet





Weight of stones, weight of thoughts

Dreams and mountains
do not even balance

We still inhabit another world
Perhaps the interval

Translated by Paul Auster
