Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
LOGOGRAMME DU SOURIRE (English)
ENGLISH :
Logogram of the Smile
‘The one I'm thinking of
now lives south of the Great Sea.'
Anon (Chinese)
You free yourself from time and place your archangel's head
on the tree of white that makes the evening shudder,
I love you like this, my friend, your summer face without make-up,
your smile that makes the book of harvest even purer.
Athanase Vantchev de Thracy
