- Je suis le fou de Pampelune,
J'ai peur du rire de la Lune,
Cafarde, avec son crêpe noir...
Horreur ! tout est donc sous un éteignoir.- From Pamplona, I'm the loon
scared of the laughter of the cunning Moon,
under the crepe of world-pain that won't pass...
For – o terror! – all is under a jar of glass.
- Heures, second stanza, from Les Amours jaunes (1873)
- From Pamplona, I'm the loon
