Hebert Logerie Poems

La Llave De La Cerradura De Mi Corazón

No sabía si mi amoroso corazón tenía una puerta
Y este portal también tenía una cerradura dorada y una llave
...

Dear son
I am no longer at home
Oh! Christ
I left the premise
...

Listen, dear friends. My name is Hébert.
Brierre, Vilaire, Césaire, Baudelaire,
And I write beautiful words,
And about umpteen beautiful things.
...

When you lose
Remember
There will be another blessed day
There will be another play
...

Je sais ce que l'oiseau en cage se sent, hélas!
Lorsque le soleil est vif sur les hautes pistes de la pente;

(This poem: As I Grew Older was written by the Poet Langston Hughes, translated in French by Hebert Logerie. Ce poème a été écrit par Langston Hughes et traduit par Hebert Logerie en français)

Never forget where you came from
Never forget where you are
Never forget to recite a psalm
You may have to travel very far.

It is wonderful that you unilaterally
Decided to split up with me

I am elated to make the following announcement:
...

Delayed justice is better than no justice.
The world will always be round.
Facts cannot be altered; prejudice
Is a major impediment to reach sound
...

The sun will not stop shining
The moon will not appear less bright
The earth will not stop turning
And the heaven will not display less light.
...
