Lifted by death's deceitful hand, In the deep caverns, echoes of a creaking melody. There, in the gilded cage, They'll stay a long time. Withdrawn, hopeless, Frightened by the sliding harp, Without weariness, they seek and see. From a pale smile to a toothless contradiction, Cornered, in full regalia, the supplicant Has donned a piquant and oppressive finery". 1983 - Hugues DELBERGUE
