FISH AND THE SHADOW


"Not so far, no, not so far now,
There is a place—but no one else knows it—
A field in a valley . . .
Qu'ieu sui avinen,
Ieu lo sai."

She must speak of the time
Of Arnaut de Mareuil, I thought, "qu'ieu sui avinen."

Light as the shadow of the fish
That falls through the pale green water.
