ENGLISH :
Before A
Tillandsia Flower
For Antoine Chedeville
« Olhe que a gente começa
Às vezes por brincadeira… »
(‘Look, we sometimes
Begin as a joke…’)
João de Deus (1830-1896)
You spoke of Kant, of
Homer and the rhapsodists,
Blue, your passionate
voice flowed into my mind
Like a dawn gentler than
the soul of aquilegias
And slowly my soul was
transformed into an ode!
Translated from the
French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy
