    Ecstasy by Paul Éluard

    Updated:October 23, 20251 Min Read

    I am in front of this feminine land

    Like a child in front of the fire

    Smiling vaguely with tears in my eyes

    In front of this land where all moves in me

    Where mirrors mist where mirrors clear

    Reflecting two nude bodies season on season

    I’ve so many reasons to lose myself

    On this road-less earth under horizon-less skies

    Good reasons I ignored yesterday

    And I’ll never ever forget

    Good keys of gazes keys their own daughters

    in front of this land where nature is mine

    In front of the fire the first fire

    Good mistress reason

    Identified star

    On earth under sky in and out of my heart

    Second bud first green leaf

    That the sea covers with sails

    And the sun finally coming to us

    I am in front of this feminine land

    Like a branch in the fire.
