L'âme a plaisir à
vagabonder d'univers en univers, d'espace en espace.
Elle joue, rayonne,
|
 |
The soul is pleased to be able to wander
from universe to universe, from space to space.
It plays, shines
|
|
|
|
|
|
et lance, par-ci, par là quelques
piques.
Un champ magnétique, une zone de turbulence,
elle vacille, souffre.

and suffers.
