Because the rare perfume
Of your swanlike paleness,
Because the innocence
Of your fragrance,Ah, because all your being,
Music so piercing,
Clouds of lost angels,
Tones and scents,Has by soft cadences
With its correspondences,
Lured my subtle heart, Oh
Let it be so!
From “To Clymène” by Paul Verlaine, translated by A.S Kline, text from Poetry in Translation
