I have dreamed o...<br /><br /><br />I Have Dreamed Of You So Much <br /><br /><br />I have dreamed of you so much that you are no longer real.<br />Is there still time for me to reach your breathing body, to kiss your mouth and make<br />your dear voice come alive again?<br /><br />I have dreamed of you so much that my arms, grown used to being crossed on my <br />chest as I hugged your shadow, would perhaps not bend to the shape of your body.<br />For faced with the real form of what has haunted me and governed me for so many <br />days and years, I would surely become a shadow.<br /><br />O scales of feeling.<br /><br />I have dreamed of you so much that surely there is no more time for me to wake up. <br />I sleep on my feet prey to all the forms of life and love, and you, the only one who <br />counts for me today, I can no more touch your face and lips than touch the lips and <br />face of some passerby.<br /><br />I have dreamed of you so much, have walked so much, talked so much, slept so much <br />with your phantom, that perhaps the only thing left for me is to become a phantom <br />among phantoms, a shadow a hundred times more shadow than the shadow the <br />moves and goes on moving, brightly, over the sundial of your life. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Robert Desnos/ J’ai tant rêvé de toi / 1926 / Corps et biens / 1930<br /><br /><br /><br />'J'ai tant rêvé de toi' is one of seven poems composed in 1926<br />and addressed 'À la mystérieuse'. They were inspired by Yvonne <br />Georges music hall singer who died of tuberculosis in 1930,<br />at the age of 33, just before the publication in May.<br /><br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUrKE2OxWtM<br />Yvonne George / Pars / 1928<br /><br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
