"Hail Father! And may your image
Forgive one of your children
If he risks it to pay tribute to you,
To blow your big olifants
At a time when voices are quavering,
He knows what he's doing
Dare to dazzle with fanfare;
But what does it matter? You need to shout;
And the huge, triumphant ode,
The ode to three-headed rhyme
It will blow a gust,
Red gold in a grey sky".

"I would like to have as my sole and supreme reward for my love of our language, the joy of finding, even if only once, the words with a deep cry, with a definitive expression, with a lyrical image, which will become part of the heritage of this language, so much so that no one will know that they are mine. »
