_5_12_03_
i saw mac new bldg in ginza
i saw fall stop fall stop rain ginza
everything seems to be as usual

It's a hole of greenery where a river sings
Hanging crazily the silver rags on the grass,
Where the sun shines from the proud mountain,
It's a little valley where the ray foams.

A young soldier sleeps, mouth opened, bareheaded,
And the nape of his neck in the blue cold watercress;
He is stretched himself out in the grass, under the cloud,
Pale in his green bed where the light rains

His feet in the gradiolus, He sleeps.
Smiling like a sick child, He takes a nap:
Nature, cradle him warmly, he feels cold.

The perfumes does not make him sniff;
He sleeps in the sun, his hand on his quiet breast.
He has two red holes in his right side.

                                                       Arthur Rimbaud
   October 1870

Translated by Kunio Monji on March 1st, 2003

Note:
The "gradiolus" means a sword, a soldier or a combat.  The word comes from Latin "gladius" that means a sword.  Because the shape of the leaf is just like a sword.  M. Claude Duchet says that this gradiolus is the iris in the swamp in Ardenne, which has yellow flowers in June and July.
