has to accept the difficulties inherent in the genre as well as his own limitations.”

…. Ou encore, parfait rouleau d’émeraude
Dressé lentement contre le jour
Comme un cobra paresseux,
Se laissant choir dans l’abandon parfait
D’une danseuse étoile
Certaine des bras du mâle
Qui vont la recevoir.
(Les vagues de Laem Sing, from Motets 2010)
