HELIOTROPES (anglais)

Mon ami, le grand poète anglais Norton Hodges, a traduit mon poème "Héliotropes". Je le remercie de tout mon coeur.

Heliotropes

To Jose Gorostiza

‘Crystal grains, pure dews’

Père Martial de Brives
It’s a fine day that comes
with white camellias
on its heart!

Shining turtledoves
fly back and forth
like pages of happiness
turning in my mind!

Listen! I can hear their silken wings!

Oh, how I love
the sweet roundness
of morning words,
like the drops
of blood inheliotropes!

Athanase Vantchev de Thracy
