A suggestion: As a skate's heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend Bow=pointed front of a boat: pronounced "bough". a skate is a type of ray--it has wings and a tail--a sort of fishy-bird...although not at all a predator like a hawk. Nit-picky, but important in adding another wonder of creation to the poem.

When we sometimes say " words can't express " , isn't it arguable that words such as these can?

Há uma bela tradição para língua portuguesa, desse poemas e de outros, realizada pelo poeta Augusto de Campos !
BEAUTIFUL poem. (2)

yes, and having thought more today about it, I think it's less to do with the falcon rhyme, and more to do with words like dawn and drawn. oh, and also with the English (vs. the French) pronunciation of chevalier.
I learned about you today, via Roger Ebert, and am already a tremendous fan--thank you!

The best declamation of this poem I've ever heard! Kudos!

this poem was my inspiration to compose a piece baed on it (look at the video reponses). Such a great reading of it, too! Many thanks for uploadingh it!

Very good, however, elsalvaterra is right - the word "dauphin" rhymes with "OFIN" and the word: "chevalier" is pronounced: "Shavalier.
Best wishes,

@GentleLark I agree about an English pronunciation of 'dauphin' but that makes a French pronunciation of 'chevalier' less likely, so I think my English one is on the money. I remember Frank Muir saying "Charlie is my darling, the young shovel ear". He was talking about the dauphin...
If anbody wants to hear legit English pronuncation of these - or any other - words, consult 'howjsay dot com'.

beautiful, but I think dauphin is meant to have the English pronunciation, so as to have an internal rhyme (sort of) with Falcon.

Like door-fin? I think you are right. My Oxford gives that pronunciation and says it can mean dolphin, which makes sense. Thank you.
