Je ne puis plus, baigné de vos langueurs, ô lames,
Enlever leur sillage aux porteurs de cotons,
Ni traverser l'orgueil des drapeaux et des flammes,
Ni nager sous les yeux horribles des pontons.

Le bateau ivre, Arthur Rimbaud

I can no more, bathed in your langours, O waves,
Sail in the wake of the carriers of cottons,
Nor undergo the pride of the flags and pennants,
Nor pull past the horrible eyes of the hulks.

The Drunken Boat, Arthur Rimbaud

Unexpected

From a student who went to India ... I don't know yet if I will take them apart...

I swear I didn't want to buy anything but... temptation was hiding among the crowd...

Not wearable except by the walls...

It is huge- about 2 feet and 1/2 with a bit of everything...mostly handmade terra cotta beads though ...
