from Anthologie de la poèsie française du xx° siècle

Claude Roy

Mais il faut qu'un poète les transmue en poésie pour que ce qui était indicible devienne dicible et dit.

°

But a poet has to transform in poetry so that what was unsayable becomes sayable and said.

Not sure about that translation. The syntax is off but I'm not sure which words I should take liberty to change. So there it is.
