The Epigraph of Jacques Taurand

Sit tibi terra levis
(May the earth rest lightly on you)

Narcissus from this day,
I will sleep
in the arms of my kind.

Industrious bees
will fill my petals
with the music
of the sun!

And all will be blue
and gentle and tender
as I lie in
the divine embrace
of Eternity!

translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
