Quotation
- Je rêve de vers doux et d'intimes ramages,
- De vers à frôler l'âme ainsi que des plumages,
- De vers blonds où le sens fluide se délie
- Comme sous l'eau la chevelure d'Ophélie,
- De vers silencieux, et sans rythme et sans trame
- Où la rime sans bruit glisse comme une rame,
- De vers d'une ancienne étoffe, exténuée,
- Impalpable comme le son et la nuée,
- De vers de soir d'automne ensorcelant les heures
- Au rite féminin des syllabes mineures.
- De vers de soirs d'amour énervéls de verveine,
- Où l'âme sente, exquise, une caresse à peine...
- Je rêve de vers doux mourant comme des roses.

Famous quotes containing the word quotation:
“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
—Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now it’s lyric verse.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
