by Arthur Rimbaud
\nTranslated from the French by Louise Var\u00e9se<\/p>\n

If I’ve a taste, its not alone
\nFor the earth and stones,
\nRocks, coal, iron, air,
\nThat’s my daily fare.<\/p>\n

Turn my hungers, hungers browse
\nOn the field of sound,
\nSuck up bindweed’s gay venom
\nAlong the ground.<\/p>\n

Eat the pebbles that one breaks,
\nChurches’ old stones;
\nGravel of ancient deluge taste,
\nAnd loaves scattered in grey brakes.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Howling underneath the leaves
\nThe wolf spits out the lovely plumes
\nOf his feast of fowls:
\nLike him I am consumed.<\/p>\n

Salads and fruits
\nAwait but the picking;
\nBut violets are the food
\nOf spiders in the thicket.<\/p>\n

Let me sleep!\u00a0 Let me seethe
\nat the altars of Solomon.
\nBroth run over the rust
\nand mix with the Cedron.<\/p>\n
