about

paroles de Gerard de Nerval, le christ aux oliviers, poême 3.

Nerval's 'Le Christ aux Oliviers' similarly conveys God's complete insensitivity to man's suffering: 'I looked for God's eye, only saw a black/Bottomless socket pouring out its dark/Night on the world ...

lyrics

"Immobile Destin, muette sentinelle,
Froide Nécessité !... Hasard qui, t'avançant
Parmi les mondes morts sous la neige éternelle,
Refroidis, par degrés, l'univers pâlissant,

"Sais-tu ce que tu fais, puissance originelle,
De tes soleils éteints, l'un l'autre se froissant...
Es-tu sûr de transmettre une haleine immortelle,
Entre un monde qui meurt et l'autre renaissant ?...

"O mon père ! est-ce toi que je sens en moi-même ?
As-tu pouvoir de vivre et de vaincre la mort ?
Aurais-tu succombé sous un dernier effort

"De cet ange des nuits que frappa l'anathème ?...
Car je me sens tout seul à pleurer et souffrir,
Hélas ! et, si je meurs, c'est que tout va mourir !"

"Motionless Destiny, dumb sentinel,
Cold Necessity! ... Chance who, advancing you
Among the dead worlds under the eternal snow,
Cool, by degrees, the fading universe,

"Do you know what you do, original power,
From your extinct suns, each other crumpling ...
Are you sure to transmit an immortal breath,
Between a world that dies and the other reborn? ...

"O my father, is it you that I feel in myself?
Can you live and overcome death?
Would you have succumbed under a last effort

"From this angel of nights that struck the anathema? ...
Because I feel alone crying and suffering,
Alas! and if I die, it's because everything will die! "
