In the next rainy season I will send
Home a brown-paper boat that will dissolve
Before it leaves my sight; and consider
My duty done.
Le cœur ne languit qu'au bord des fleuves
Que le corps n’a jamais visité.
In the next rainy season I will mend
Three rope bridges and a canoe to solve
Hunger, poverty and crime; on paper
The war is won.
L’âme ne périt que dans les œuvres
Perfides de grande majesté.
