Memories, Poem by Henry Bataille

Poem by Henry Bataille Period 19th century

Memories are rooms without locks,
Empty rooms one no longer dares to enter,
Because old parents once died there.
We live in the house where these closed rooms are.
We know they are there as always,
And there is the blue room, and there is the pink room…
The house thus fills with solitude,
And we go on living in it, smiling…
