Les Chants de Maldoror (translated by Guy Wernham)
by Comte de Lautréamont
⇥ There are certain hours in the life of lousy-haired man when he fixes his staring eyes upon the green membranes of space; for he seems to hear before him the ironic mockery of a phantom. He staggers and bends his head: what he hears is the voice of his conscience. Then he rushes from the house with the speed of a madman and tears through the rugged plains of the countryside. But the yellow phantom does not lose sight of him and pursues him with an equal speed.🏁
