Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

The Nostalgia of Princes



We loved passionately the books of Pergamon and Alexandria,

those great libraries where the vast sweep of knowledge was laid out,

the legends of Sumeria, the Greeks' high-minded deregulations of the senses,

and the poems of the wind that covered our lives with love!

 

translated from the French by Nprton Hodges
