Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
And This Elusive Light (English)
'Blue mountain, green lake.'
Pai P'ou
Life flows without defence through our frail fingers
and falls onto the petals of the white magnolia -
how precious is the time when one speaks clearly and another listens,
how precious are the poems that possess within them the voices of light!
translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
