The Duchess of Burgundy Departs From Her Body
Holy sleep, holy time!
Drive the carriage to the heart of the forest, if you want an answer!
And the Duchess added: When you become a body, you depart from your body.
She was sitting on her commode and chatting to her ladies-in-waiting.
And she said: the Duke’s sleep, let it be holy, it mustn’t be disturbed!
For the Duke’s in the heart of the forest. The light filters through the leaves, and the echo:
if you want an answer.
Relieved, she said: The Duchess’s time is holy, it mustn’t be wasted!
