<\/p><\/div>Antonin Artaud<\/strong> by Ren\u00e9 Char<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t the voice to sing your praise, great brother
\nIf I bent over your body which light is going to scatter
\nYour laugh would repel me<\/p>\n

The affection between us, during what
\nWe improperly call a fine storm
\nFalls several times, kills, digs & burns,
\nThen is reborn afterwards
\nIn the softness of the mushroom.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need a wall of words
\nTo raise your truth,
\nNor sea-scrolls to anoint
\nYour profundity,
\nNor this feverish hand that surrounds
\nYour wrist and lightly
\nLead you to cut down a forest
\nWhose axe is our entrails<\/p>\n

It\u2019s enough\u2014re-enter the volcano<\/p>\n

As for us,
\nSince we may weep, may assume
\nYour relief or ask, \u201cwho\u2019s Artaud \u201c
\n

From the \u2018Artaud\u2019s Hammer\u2019 Portfolio \u00a9 Gerard Bellaart
[Cold Turkey Press, 2013]<\/p><\/div>Of this cluster of dynamite from which
\nNo particle is broken off<\/p>\n

Nothing is changed for us,
\nNothing except this chimera
\nQuite alive with the hell
\nThat takes leave of our anguish<\/font><\/p>\n
