By Paul Verlaine (1844 – 1896)
Votre âme est un paysage choisi
Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi
Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques.
Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur
L'amour vainqueur et la vie opportune
Ils n'ont pas l'air de croire à leur bonheur
Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune,
Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres
Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau,
Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres.
Your soul is a chosen landscape
Where charming masked and costumed figures go
Playing the lute and dancing and almost
Sad beneath their fantastic disguises.
All sing in a minor key
Of all-conquering love and careless fortune
They do not seem to believe in their happiness
And their song mingles with the moonlight.
The still moonlight, sad and beautiful,
Which gives the birds to dream in the trees
And makes the fountain sprays sob in ecstasy,
The tall, slender fountain sprays among the marble statues.

Saw Twilight today with darling Daniela and it was actually pretty good!
I wasn't that bothered about going to see it
I hadn't read the books and I didn't have an obsession with Robert Pattinson
The film was beautifully shot- especially the lovely dark forests
The script was a bit corny
But it's a love story so its fine
I liked that it was quite dark too
And the twist at the end
Oooh Definitely be watching the next 2
Don't think I'll bother reading it though
Because I'm lazy
And yes eventually I did fall in love with Edward
But only a little..
And I'm over it now ;)
