Katherine Mansfield

Her secret

In the profoundest ocean
There is a rainbow shell,
It is always there, shining most stilly
Under the greatest storm waves
And under the happy little waves
That the old Greek called "ripples of laughter"
And you listen, the rainbow shell
Sings - in the profoundest ocean
It is always there, singing most silently !

Là où le silence et la solitude
Croisent la nuit et le froid,
J'attendis comme on attend en vain,
Si net et si précis était le vide.
