Poets Under Forty
(Translated by Michael Palma)
tender is the night
all around at work
grandly designing
between dream and reality
*
the alphabet of colors
symphony of pure forms
along the paths of the dream
the vision of tomorrow
*
the veils of day
an airy sign
a flash in the dark
beyond the horizon
*
announcements of spring
with the ocean in the eyes
emotions in the open air
the spectacle of the senses
*
the secrets of harmony
a new life amid the fields
the garden of peonies
the paradise of pigs
*
the chronicle of the landscape
in the heat of the day
largeness of the everyday
between abstract and figure
