Nerval: They will come back, those gods you still mourn!

They will come back, those gods you still mourn!
Time will bring back the ancient order;
the Earth has shivered at a prophetic gust...

        --Gérard de Nerval (1805-1855), in Delfica (1853)

Ils reviendront, ces dieux que tu pleures toujours!
Le temps va ramener l'ordre des anciens jours;
la terre a tressailli d'un souffle prophétique...
