Zacharie ASTRUC (Angers, 1833 - Paris, 1907) Sonnet du Jing-Lar, original autograph version illustrated in watercolour and dedicated to Félix Bracquemond Watercolour, pen and brown ink To Félix Bracquemond Jinglar is a liqueur Made to froth at the mouth! In Paris, she exalts the heart And the precious art of eight bronzes. Buddhas under giant pine trees In the flower of the magic lotus Worshipped him - their eyes gaping Filled with a lethargic dream Hi there - mysterious wine! You light up our delirium Master of brushes and lyres! You came from glorious Japan, Inspiring new uses, To be sung by wise men.
