    lemme start (since i started this thread):

    Un homme fini

    il a perdu le language celui qui ne peut s'affranchir,
    dont la mémoire a moisi comme le coeur,
    qui ne trouve plus la raison du courage
    et se tourmente de trop devant l'insolence des murs!

    Il est consumé jusqu'a la moelle des os
    par la peur des goêliers qui n'existent pas
    et par des insectes invisibles qui font la ronde
    dans sa pauvre tête irréconciliée.

    Il voyage au hasard et ne connaît personne
    qui le pourrait guider dans la forêt de sa solitude.
    Il rêve à des éboulis gigantesques
    qui emporteront l'univers dans le creux béant
    de la fin du monde explosant sur la paume de Sa main!

    Mais tout continue à s'épanouir toujours et sans cesse
    dans les recommencements du vouloir et de l'agir.

    Lui, il est fini parce qu'il n'a jamais commencé
    et son histoire sans nom entre dans l'immobilitée
    de l'échec qui ressemble à l'épaisseur du roc
    recouvrant d'ironie l'engourdissement de tout son être.

    Well I put it throuh Google Translate and here is what I get

    A manfinished

    he lost the language who can not escape,
    whose memory as musty as the heart,
    that no longer finds the courage due
    and worries too muchbefore the insolence of the walls!

    It has burned up the bone marrow
    by fear of goêliers that do not exist
    and by invisible insects that make the round
    un reconciled in his poor head.

    He travels at random and does not know anyone
    who could guide in the forest of his solitude.
    He dreams of huge boulders
    which prevail in the universe yawning hollow
    theend of the worldexplodingon the palm ofHis hand!

    But everything still continues to flourish and constantly
    in the beginnings of will and action.

    Him, it's overbecause it never began
    and its history into the unnamed immobilitée
    failure that resembles the thickness of the rock
    covering of irony numbness of his whole being.

    Pretty good actually! It doesn't make sense in some parts but that is Google's fault

    I love romance languages, they are all derived from Latin, and I understand Latin (kind of).

    Those apostrophes are different from Latin, though.

    All in all, using my knowledge of Latin, Spanish, and what Simon posted with Google translate, I can get a pretty good idea of what it says. Let me try to translate, just for my enjoyment. I want to see if I'm right.


    A finished man

    He left the language who cannot escape, (?)
    its memory as musty as the heart,
    he cannot find the courage he needs,
    and worries too much about the strength of the walls!

    Oksy, never mind. Lol I'll just go with the Google version. I think I'm messing this up.

    It's really good though! I am terrible at poetry, so I doubt I will post anything...
