IN DARK AGAIN IN WONDER “is an erudite, beautifully written, and compelling book, one that makes an important contribution to our understanding not only of the two #Poets on whom it focuses but of the period they inhabit...” ~Henry Weinfield #ReneChar #GeorgeOppen

Excerpt from Rene Char's remarkable Leaves of Hypnos, 1946
The light has been chased from our eyes.
It is buried somewhere in our bones.
In our turn, we pursue it to restore its crown.

Excerpt from Rene Char's remarkable Leaves of Hypnos, 1946
Man is capable of doing what he is incapable of imagining. His head tills the galaxy of the absurd.
In our shadows, there is not one space alone for Beauty. The whole space is for Beauty.

The ones who believe in the sunflower will not meditate in the house. All thoughts of love will become their thoughts.

« Il y a deux âges pour le poète: l'âge durant lequel la poésie, à tous égards, le maltraite, et celui où elle se laisse follement embrasser. Mais aucun n'est entièrement défini. Et le second n'est pas souverain. »

I’ll not write any poem of acquiescence .
From Rene Char’s “Leaves of Hypnos” #poem #renechar #acquiescence
River with an indestructible heart in this mad prison-world,
Keep us violent and friends to the bees on the horizon.
—René Char (from 'The Sorgue'; tr. Mark Rudman)
