Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

Wonder (Emerveillement) - (English)

'Everywhere orioles sing, and the green reflects the red.'

Tu Mu

The vase, the flowers' pensive heads, these daily things,
my Prince, are both miraculous and true,
like the evangelical simplicity of the sky
where birds carve their grace upon the winds.
