Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
Little Autumn Sonata (English)
'Ethics that are not transcendental cannot be.'
Athanase Vantchev de Thracy
'Ah! What I love in you is more than yourself.'
Marquis de Sade, Letter to his wife Renée Pélagie de Montreuil
The long year's passed from tear to pleasant tear
and suddenly it's autumn, my Prince, offering up its blood-red tribute,
like the hand-drawn plan of a man who wants to seize life
in its secret essence, in its apotheosis.
translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
