Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
What Should Have Ended Still Goes On (English)
'Tears and suffering, my beloved brother, will always seem shockingly unreasonable to any thinking person and an unfathomable mystery to anyone who believes in God.'
Athanase Vantchev de Thracy: Letter to his Brother Michael
Pass the salt, brother, and let our hearts be pure,
and let the sea spray of tears wash our eyes clean!
Only then will our words resound with the true nature
of the creatures and things of this world, unsurpassable, sublime!
translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
