💙🏝💛Enjoy this recent piece for the up and coming street art museum opening in La Réunion. 💛🏝💙 This piece is a tribute to the national identity of those who call La Réunion home and includes a section of the poem “Le Bernica” by Charles Marie Rene Leconte De Lisle. This poem is memorized by all of the children raised on the island. Below I have included the English and French translations. Lost on the mountain, between two high walls, It is a wild place, with a hospitable dream, Which, from the first day, has known only a few guests; The noise does not rise there from the sea to the coasts, Nor the rumor of man: one can forget there. Perdu sur la montagne, entre deux parois hautes,
Il est un lieu sauvage, au rêve hospitalier,
Qui, dès le premier jour, n'a connu que peu d'hôtes ;
Le bruit n'y monte pas de la mer sur les côtes,
Ni la rumeur de l'homme : on y peut oublier.
