Meaning of pensée

Noun

pensée (plural pensées)

  1. A thought.
    • Words come after words with little punctuation, and because the lines are short our eyes fall down the page, scanning, shifting, making sense of each as it follows or comes upon the next. Yet, rather than a rush of feelings, the lines are pensees: a flow that incites intellectually, not viscerally.1980 December 13, Michael Bronski, “A Longing For Passion To Transcend Thought”, in Gay Community News, volume 8, number 21, page 12
