Blind girl
Here is the braille (Tactile) translation of the poem "La Glace". An additional translation for this interrnational love poem. Blind girl, braille is your reflection! Louis Braille comes from Coupvray, so this poetry too! To keep the markers away from each other, I pointed the Braille on the city of Limoges, a city where it will surely be read.
To be your glasses
A visual poem for a blind woman may come as a surprise, but I know she will have enough imagination to reverse all those raised dots. She will be able, like any lover, to read my little poem turned around with this vertical symmetry.
And then, aren't there women or men who are figuratively blind? May my braille love poem be their glasses!
Louis Braille developed this writing system from 1825.
