Nerval x 3

Quite quiet at work, due to most of the team being off at that conference. Worked on the Circulatory and Vascular Workshop QA job, and was glad that I have a good memory for spelling -- the Word spellchecker was throwing up false negatives all the time, due to the amount of medical terminology, and it would not help matters to have to be checking terms like "amoeboid" or "basilic artery" all the time.

Three versions of Nerval's Le Relais: the original in French, a fairly straight poetic translation in English, and a more vernacular translation in English, done for a New Statesman competition.
