À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

The gateway to iconic

dreamscapes

to the reservoirs

of refreshments , and ablutions

at the lake of holy waters,

you lie signally at the crossroads,

at the junction of joy;

during my juvenile wanderings,

on my trusty bicycle,

with excitement ever new,

never to cloy,

the hair pin bend of Bassin Anglais

Bridge would be negotiated

hands-free, at some speed,

derring-do, rather inane, on display,

but enchantment beyond awaited.
