Poem: The Mares Of The Camargue







'From the MIREIO of Mistral'



A hundred mares; all white! their manes

Like mace…reed of the marshy plains

Thick…tufted; wavy; free o' the shears:

And when the fiery squadron rears

Bursting at speed; each mane appears

Even as the white scarf of a fay

Floating upon their necks along the heavens away。



O race of humankind; take shame!

For never yet a hand could tame;

Nor bitter spur that rips the flanks subdue

The mares of the Camargue。  I have known;

By treason snared; some captives shown;

Expatriate from their native Rhone;

Led off; their saline pastures far from view:



And on a day; with prompt rebound;

They have flung their riders to the ground;

And at a single gallop; scouring free;

Wide…nostril'd to the wind; twice ten

Of long marsh…leagues devour'd; and then;

Back to the Vacares again;

After ten years of slavery just to breathe salt sea



For of this savage race unbent;

The ocean is the element。

Of old escaped from Neptune's car; full sure;

Still with the white foam fleck'd are they;

And when the sea puffs black from grey;

And ships part cables; loudly neigh

The stallions of Camargue; all joyful in the roar;



And keen as a whip they lash and crack

Their tails that drag the dust; and back

Scratch up the earth; and feel; entering their flesh; where he;

The God; drives deep his trident teeth;

Who in one horror; above; beneath;

Bids storm and watery deluge seethe;

And shatters to their depths the abysses of the sea。



Cant。 iv。
