Hello, I apologise for my poor English Language. I try to practice it,
reading your messages about music and clarinet ,while I practice an old LL
Leblanc.
Your post reminds me a french poem written by Arthur Rimbaud.(1854-1891).
I am unable to translate this to you. You know perhaps it? Many years ago ,
we had to know poems by heart, at school, and they remain somewhere in the
brain...

VOYELLES

A noir, E blanc, I rouge, U vert, O bleu : voyelles,
Je dirai quelque jour vos nuisances latentes :
A, noir corset velu des mouches éclatantes
Qui bombinent autour des puanteurs cruelles,

Golfes d'ombres; E, candeurs des vapeurs et des tentes,
Lances des glaciers fiers, rois blancs, frissons d'ombrelles;
I, pourpres, sang craché, rire des lèvres belles
Dans la colère ou les ivresses pénitentes;

U, cycles, vibrements divins des mers virides,
Paix des pâtis semés d'animaux, paix des rides
Que l'alchimie imprime aux grands fronts studieux;

O, suprême Clairon plein de strideurs étranges,
Silences traversés des Mondes et des Anges:
--O l'Omega, rayon violet de Ses Yeux!
