Response to de Rooij, Sepinwall, Benson: Inquiry re Jean Brierre poem
Merci! J'adore la poésie de Jean Brierre. Comme épigraphe de ma
biographie de Jacques Roumain, un morceau traduit de sa collection
élégiaque intitulée "Nous garderons le dieu" (22 poèmes):
_It is already nightfall._
_ __And like every other evening,_
_I stand waiting before the sea_
_That she might tell me what she has done with_
_The strength,_
_The genius,_
_The thought of my friend_
_ Taken into her fatal embrace._
Jean F. Brierre, 1945 __
