 Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

Before A Tillandsia Flower

For Antoine Chedeville
 
« Olhe que a gente começa
Às vezes por brincadeira… »
 
(‘Look, we sometimes
Begin as a joke…’)
 
João de Deus (1830-1896)
 
You spoke of Kant, of Homer and the rhapsodists,
Blue, your passionate voice flowed into my mind
Like a dawn gentler than the soul of aquilegias
And slowly my soul was transformed into an ode!
 
 
Translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy
