Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
Interval (English)
'Learning many things does not teach understanding.'
Heraclitus
Days are rivers
drowning our peace and solitude.
Into the outstretched hands of the hours
they pour
the feverish wine of impossible loves!
They wash away
from granite crosses
names now for ever forgotten!
Rivers of knowledge will breach
even intimate rooms
filled with grief!
The rivers, the endless rivers of days!
translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
