Identity Of Images (identité Des Images) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIHJKLCGMNOP QRSTUVAWXGCIOYZA2IB2 GI am fighting furiously with animals and bottles | A |
In a short time perhaps ten hours have passed one | B |
after another | C |
The beautiful swimmer who was afraid of coral wakes | D |
this morning | E |
Coral crowned with holly knocks on her door | F |
Ah coal again always coal | G |
I conjure you coal tutelary genius of dreams and my | H |
solitude let me let me speak again of the beautiful | I |
swimmer who was afraid of coral | I |
No longer tyrannize this seductive subject of my | H |
dreams | J |
The beautiful swimmer was reposing in a bed of lace | K |
and birds | L |
The clothes on a chair at the foot of the bed were | C |
illuminated by gleams the last gleams of coal | G |
The one that had come from the depths of the sky and | M |
earth and sea was proud of its coral beak and great | N |
wings of crape | O |
All night long it had followed divergent funerals toward | P |
suburban cemeteries | Q |
It had been to embassy balls marked white satin gowns with | R |
its imprint a fern leaf | S |
It had risen terribly before ships and the ships had not | T |
returned | U |
Now crouched in the chimney it was watching for the | V |
waking of foam and singing of kettles | A |
Its resounding step had disturbed the silence of nights | W |
in streets with sonorous pavements | X |
Sonorous coal coal master of dreams coal | G |
Ah tell me where is that beautiful swimmer the swimmer | C |
who was afraid of coral | I |
But the swimmer herself has gone back to sleep | O |
And I remain face to face with the fire and shall remain | Y |
through the night interrogating the coal with wings of | Z |
darkness that persists in projecting on my monotonous | A2 |
road the shadow of its smoke and the terrible | I |
reflections of its embers | B2 |
Sonorous coal coal pitiless coal | G |
