Le Sonnet De Voyelles by Arthur Rimbaud

A Black, E White, I Red, U Green, O Blue;
Some day I'll crack your nascent origins.

A Hairy corset of clacking black flies
Bombarding agony pits of stench-ridden darkness;

E Frankness in steamers and pavilions, lances
Of lofty glaciers, white kings, shivering umbels;

I Purple red spittle, laughter of sweet lips
Turning to rage or into penitent raptures;

U Cycles, viridian seas divinely shuddering,
Peace in creature-sown pasture, and peace
In furrows, alchemy sows in intellectual foreheads;

O The great last Trump full of strange stridencies,
Silences crossed by Lucifer's trail of angels,
O------, in Omega, the violet beam of his gaze!
