From the sea to the source <br />From mountain to plain <br />Runs the phantom of life <br />The foul shadow of death <br />But between us <br />A dawn of ardent flesh is born <br />And exact good <br />that sets the earth in order <br />We advance with calm step <br />And nature salutes us <br />The day embodies our colours <br />Fire our eyes the sea our union <br />And all living resemble us <br />All the living we love <br />Imaginary the others <br />Wrong and defined by their birth <br />But we must struggle against them <br />They live by dagger blows <br />They speak like a broken chair <br />Their lips tremble with joy <br />At the echo of leaden bells <br />At the muteness of dark gold <br />A lone heart not a heart <br />A lone heart all the hearts <br />And the bodies every star <br />In a sky filled with stars <br />In a career in movement <br />Of light and of glances <br />Our weight shines on the earth <br />Glaze of desire <br />To sing of human shores <br />For you the living I love <br />And for all those that we love <br />That have no desire but to love <br />I’ll end truly by barring the road <br />Afloat with enforced dreams <br />I’ll end truly by finding myself <br />We’ll take possession of earth<br /><br />Paul Eluard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/uninterrupted-poetry/
