Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

The Sky of France (English)

For Norton Hodges

'White clouds passing, tinged with twilight'

Yang Sou

To drink the sky with my eyes, the beautiful sky of France,
the diaphanous lace clouds of pink gold,
the unparalleled elegance of light
clothing its nakedness in infinite subtle shades!

translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges 29.12.07
