世の中は
何にたとへん
山彦の
こたふる聲の
空しきがごと
Our life in this world -
to what shall I compare it?
It's like an echo
resounding through the mountains
and off into the empty sky.

DeleteA sea of yellow carapaced turtles!
ReplyDeletePerhaps 'carapaced' is a word in Japanese because it doesn't appear to be one in English (again, this language, the language of business and Shakespeare, has had so many opportunities to truly be a great language (splitting my infinitives)--and yet comes up short every time. Still, i like the bobbing heads. And that canary yellow is infectious.
hahaha
Deleteindeed it is, impossible to resist :-)
and how strange, i have exactly the same opinion about english :-P
mie imi aminteste de multe aceasta,si,inlaturand cat pot de mult,cosmarurile de profesor plecat in excursie cu pustii,in aceasta postare devin Celalalt, copilul care vede o gramada de minunatii,care se incoloneaza doar asa,ca sa nu isi faca probleme,pentru care nu conteaza mai mult acadeaua decat soarele,pentru care galbenul este prilejul de a rade neostoit,copilul care hohoteste in trupul lui micut, intangibil; devin Clara:)
ReplyDeleteda, copilul care reuseste sa fie el insusi, in ciuda marii disciplini de aici, aceasta uniformizare tipica lor. sper ca reuseste, e tot ce-mi doresc.
Deletehi dear Roxana, they are so sweet in their yellow hats.I love your black and white it is always so profound there is a focus on their hands pensive playful dominating the photo through their importance because their hands will build tomorrow's world.
ReplyDeletehaha isn't one child biting the other's finger well yes unfortunately that is part of the tell tale haha.
Have a beautiful day my beautiful friend.
