Despair has no wings, it doesn\u2019t necessarily sit at a cleared table in the evening on a terrace by the sea. It\u2019s despair and not the return of a quantity of insignificant facts like seeds that leave one furrow for another at nightfall. It\u2019s not the moss that forms on a rock or the foam that rocks in a glass. It\u2019s a boat riddled with snow, if you will, like birds that fall and their blood doesn\u2019t have the slightest thickness. I know the general outline of despair. A very small shape, defined by jewels worn in the hair. That\u2019s despair. A pearl necklace for which no clasp can be found and whose existence can\u2019t even hang by a thread. That\u2019s despair for you. Let\u2019s not go into the rest. Once we begin to despair we don\u2019t stop. I myself despair of the lampshade around four o\u2019clock, I despair of the fan towards midnight, I despair of the cigarette smoked by men on death row. I know the general outline of despair. Despair has no heart, my hand always touches breathless despair, the despair whose mirrors never tell us if it\u2019s dead. I live on that despair which enchants me. I love that blue fly which hovers in the sky at the hour when the stars hum. I know the general outline of the despair with long slender surprises, the despair of pride, the despair of anger. I get up every day like everyone else and I stretch my arms against a floral wallpaper. I don\u2019t remember anything and it\u2019s always in despair that I discover the beautiful uprooted trees of night. The air in the room is as beautiful as drumsticks. What weathery weather. I know the general outline of despair. It\u2019s like the curtain\u2019s wind that holds out a helping hand. Can you imagine such a despair? Fire! Ah they\u2019re on their way \u2026 Help! Here they come falling down the stairs \u2026 And the ads in the newspaper, and the illuminated signs along the canal. Sandpile, beat it, you dirty sandpile! In its general outline despair has no importance. It\u2019s a squad of trees that will eventually make a forest, it\u2019s a squad of stars that will eventually make one less day, it\u2019s a squad of one\u00ad-less-\u00addays that will eventually make up my life.<\/p>\n<p><em>Translated from the French by Bill Zavatsky and Zack Rogow.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andr\u00e9 Breton\u2019s poem \u201cThe Verb to Be\u201d originally appeared in our Spring 1985 issue.
