Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

Agitation (Effervescence) - (English)


(Air on clear notes)

'In the silence and peace of the mountains
who can know the calm in my heart?'

Yang Su

The full moon pours its mild light, like a long
river of kindness, deep into our fevered eyes.

In our breasts, the pure words we dare not
speak wait restlessly like sap in spring.

At the simple touch of a hand, our souls
expand into the warmth of a single song.

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