Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
Do you have the context?
how could we know why the infinitive would be used without seeing the sentence?
also the translation of a poem usually can't be used to understand the meaning of individual words or phrases in the french
miroiter la peau doesn't clearly mean reflect the light on its own like that
Que j'aime voir, chère indolente,
De ton corps si beau,
Comme une étoffe vacillante,
Miroiter la peau!
Sur ta chevelure profonde
Aux âcres parfums,
Mer odorante et vagabonde
Aux flots bleus et bruns,
Le Serpent qui danse is the title
This site has both the original and the English translation.
It does a better job of conveying the meaning instead of translating purely on the basis of the words used.
