John Keats

John Keats
Ode on melancholy
"Ay, in the very temple of Delight Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine, Though seen of non save him whose strenuous tongue Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine; His soul shall taste the sadness of her might And be among her cloudy trophies hung."
Oui, dans le temple même du Bonheur,voilée, La Mélancolie a son autel souverain, Que seul peut voir celui qui sait faire éclater Contre son fin palais les raisins de la Joie. Son âme goûtera sa puissante tristesse Et comptera parmis ses trophées de nuages.
