À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

It is a Proustian penchant

recreating the past

lost in time’s long grass

which to seek out and reembrace,

inclining the mind to the door

of El dorado worlds

left behind, to only hanker

after them at moments

of suspended reflectiveness;

when found again, the days

and nights shimmer

in the submerged mirrors

of reminiscence,

not abandoned by wilfulness,

only as treasures to rediscover

from a distant future.
