Excerpt from Aux Temps Héroïques: PoèmesUn canotier huron descend, avec le père, L'endroit où le rapide est le plus orageux Soudain il le saisit et, sourd à sa prière, Brutalement le jette aux courants furieux.Un jeune baptisé monte aussi la nacelle, Et le même païen lui fait le même sort.Le prêtre le guidait vers la vie éternelle, Un infernal courroux les unit dans la mort.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
