Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant

Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie
Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant
Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie

Patrice Contamine de Latour (1867 – 1926) was a Spanish poet who lived in Paris.

He was a friend of composer Erik Satie, whose famous piano suites Sarabandes (1887) and Gymnopédies (1888) were inspired by his poetry. Satie wrote a short comic opera with text by de Latour written under the pseudonym "Lord Cheminot", and also composed the piano piece The Dreamy Fish to accompany a lost tale by de Latour.
