Enfin, de son vil échafaud, Le clown sauta si haut, si haut, Qu'il creva le plafond de toiles Au son du cor et du tambour, Et, le cœur dévoré d'amour, Alla rouler dans les étoiles.

Finally, from his vile scaffold, The clown jumped so high, so high, That he burst the canvas ceiling To the sound of the horn and the drum, And, his heart devoured with love, Went rolling in the stars.

Théodore de Banville Moulins 1823-Paris 1891 Odes funambulesques
