Tomorrow we'll honor all the dead of the first WW.

Here are

a visit of Verdun, one of the bloodiest battle field, a place where I lived when young.

Verdun

and a poem :

Le dormeur du Val - (Arthur Rimbaud 1854-1891)

C’est un trou de verdure où chante une rivière

Accrochant follement aux herbes des haillons

D’argent ; où le soleil de la montagne fière,

Luit : c’est un petit val qui mousse de rayons.

*****

Un soldat jeune, bouche ouverte, tête nue,

Et la nuque baignant dans le frais cresson bleu,

Dort ; il est étendu dans l’herbe, sous la nue,

Pâle dans son lit vert où la lumière pleut.

*****

Les pieds dans les glaïeuls, il dort. Souriant comme

Sourirait un enfant malade, il fait un somme :

Nature, berce-le chaudement : il a froid.

*****

Les parfums ne font pas frissonner sa narine ;

Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine

Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au côté droit.
