Puisque nous sommes internationales, voici un texte en anglais recueilli dans The Tablet de ce 19 juin 2010

The Swan

Did you see it, drifting, all night, on the black river ?...

Did you hear it, fluting and whistling

A shrill dark music – like the rain pelting the trees – like a waterfall

Knifing down the black ledges ?

And did you see it, finally, just under the clouds –

A white cross

Streaming across the sky, its feet

Like black leaves, its wings

Like the stretching light of the river?

Ad did you feel it, in your heart, how it pertained to everything ?

And have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?

And have you changed your life?

Mary Oliver
