"jamais, hommes humains,
il n'y eut dans la poitrine, au revers de la veste, dans le portefeuille,
tant de douleur,
dans le verre, dans la boucherie, dans l'arithmétique!
jamais tant de tendresse douloureuse
jamais si proche du si lointain assaut,
jamais le feu jamais
ne tint mieux son rôle de froid mort!"
césar vallejo.
"et la vie sera là, son pain, son sel
et l'oubli des journées
et tout sera comme si sous le ciel
je n'avais pas été"
marina ivanova tsvetaeva
"en fin de compte, je ne possède pour exprimer ma vie, que ma mort.
et après tout, au bout de la nature étagée et du moineau tout d’une pièce, je dors main dans la main avec mon ombre"
césar vallejo
"sur une feuille vide et lisse
les lieux, les noms, tous les indices,
même les dates disparaissent.
mon âme est née, où donc est-ce ?
toute maison m'est étrangère,
pour moi tous les temples sont vides,
tout m'est égal, me désespère,
sauf le sorbier d'un sol aride…
Ô larmes des obsèques,
cris d'amour impuissants"
marina ivanova tsvetaeva
"si vous ne m'oubliez pas comme je vous oublie, c'est que vous ne m'avez jamais subie comme je vous ai subis. Si vous ne m'oubliez pas absolument, c'est qu'il n'y a rien d'absolu en vous, même l'indifférence. J'ai fini par ne pas vous reconnaître ; vous n'avez jamais cherché à me connaître."
marina ivanova tsvetaeva
"s'il pleuvait cette nuit, je me retirerais à mille ans d'ici"
