Looking back over the last four days' poems, I notice they've all been Christian in character (except the lines from Phèdre, but Phèdre's Christian under the surface). Being an atheist myself, I feel I ought to redress the balance and translate something profane and secular for my next piece. Who's ungodly in French poetry? Victor Hugo was unconventional in his beliefs, but still a praying man I think. Jacques Prévert perhaps?
