Postcard to Cheryl at Perfumed Letters
Srah Srang, Siem Reap. Photo: Jordan River
Que le vent qui gémit, le roseau qui soupire,
Que les parfums légers de ton air embaumé,
Que tout ce qu’on entend, l’on voit ou l’on respire,
Tout dise: “Ils ont aimé!Lamartine
Le Lac

May the wind that groans, the reed that sighs,
may the soft scent of your fragrant air,
may everything that is heard, seen or breathed
all say: They loved!Lamartine
The Lake
The Fragrant Man 
Exquisite…both photos and poem….
The poem is a beautifully sad story.
Love this! Even the English translation conveys the message. Love is a fragrant thing.
Coach E, you know you are the gift recipient for April – see prior post.
I like that…Love is a fragrant thing.
yes…and I am anxiously awaiting your address so I can send it to you!! I think your girls will very much like it :D!!
I can’t believe it took me so long to find this beautiful postcard! Thank you so much for the breath of fragrant air, the image, the Lamartine!
