She has more hair than she needs; In The sun 'tis a woe to me! And her voice is a string of colored beads, Or steps leading into The sea. She loves me all that she can, And her ways to my ways resign; But she was not made for any man, And she never will be all mine.

Las distintas secciones de este movimiento frenético, redoble de campanas y voces locas, declaman esta llamada de fuego en una energía casi incontenible. Autor: Patrick Burgan, sobre tres poemas de Mark Blanchet "Soleils Abeilles aux danses enfiévrées Soleils Mondes enflammés Résonnez à notre appel Résonnez! Lór de vos fléches Transperce nos voix Nous danson, ivres de lumi`re Sur la voie lactée Votre ronde sauvage Entraîne nos rires Qu'ils éclatent Dans l' espace infini de vos flammes Qu'ils consument à jamais l'obscurité O Soleils, vous le savez la joie est soeur du vertige Ses lèvres ont l'éclat du vin."
