Number 37 April 2010 Monthly newsletter for the Alliance Française Cork La lettre mensuelle de l’Alliance Française de Cork Editorial Chers Amis, dear Friends, The celebrated French Poet Jacques REDA joins us this month to bring to us his own enchanted vision of the world. Avril Nora CALLANAN, President, Jacques REDA, French Poet and Hélène DUQUIN, Director Af de CORK At the Franco-Irish Literary Festival in DUBLIN Castle Après l’hiver clément j’entends chacun se plaindre De l’extrême fraîcheur d’Avril, qui me convient. L’air vif, un ciel mouvant et gris qu’on voit se teindre Des bleus tendres divers qu’un souffle diluvien Noie et fait resplendir ensuite sur l’asphalte Entre les ébrouements parfumés des tilleuls : C’est bien. Le carrefour dont tous les feux s’exaltent -Orange, rouge, vert – se vide et l’on est seuls Emportés par le vent, vous et moi, belle ondée. Vous me restituez cette émouvante odeur Qui montait autrefois, de la rue inondée, Comme de l’avenir et de sa profondeur. Or ce n’était pourtant qu’une odeur de poussière Un peu poivrée, avec le sucre des jardins, L’iode des chevaux et l’âcreté du lierre Ou du buis se mêlant aux effluves soudain De la petite forge. Et limaille, soudure Composaient des bouquets où des brins de coucou Avaient aussi leur place, et l’acide verdure Qu’on rapportait les soirs de dimanche. Beaucoup D’autres printemps depuis ont rouvert les coroles Et ranimé le feu d’un soleil en péril, Mais s’il n’en reste rien de plus que des paroles, Je vis quand il revient le même mois d’avril.
