Pan, “Chanson Anarchiste / Anarchist Song” (1892)

April 9, 2020 Shawn P. Wilbur

An agent of the prefecture / Promenaded on the boulevard / When, before a storefront window / There was a young hat maker / Bearing a carton under his arm; / His look fatigued and sad / Showed a certain discomfort. […]

E. Armand, “Equisses / Sketches” (1923)

April 8, 2020 Shawn P. Wilbur

Esquisses.… I J’ai marché dans la vie, comme on marche en un rêve… Je préfère, déserte et lointaine, la grève, La cime solitaire et le pic désolé, La cabane à l’écart, le sentier isolé, Le […]

E. Armand, “Regrets” (1922)

April 7, 2020 Shawn P. Wilbur

Ah! I would have liked to always show myself honestly;
But often, too often, I was afraid of the punishments that might be imposed.
I was afraid, and this fear, poisoning my days,
Was a heavy burden to bear: — a dreadful chain. […]

Paul Paillette, “The New Voice”

November 19, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

Shawn P. Wilbur, “Futurist Synthesis (Energy and Fear)” (1995)

November 1, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

Twilight and the last books are heaped upon the fire. Heat to warm old bones. Acrid smoke to tickle memories. We sit — we, old ones now, but once so young. We sit around the fire. Old war birds, made lean and light by time, by speed. Brittle now, but still. . . […]
