Sulphur-pale, the clouds darkened the fields, the vines; wind moaned in the trees with a secret turbulence, and the quick swallow went breasting across the grass. Suddenly the thunder broke, the wellhead broke, and dancing came the rain. Dust leaped into the air. We, our nostrils quivering, opened our lips to drink the earth’s heavy smell, C € to let I line a spring water us deep inside (the rain had already wet our thirsting faces, like the olive and the mullen). And shoulder touching shoulder, we asked: “What smell is this that cuts the air like a bee? From balsam, pine, acanthus, from osier or thyme?” So many the scents that, breathing I became a lyre caressed by the breath’s profusion. Sweetness filled my palate; and as our eyes met again all my blood sang out. I bent down to the vine, its leaves shaking, to drink its honey and its flower; and—my thoughts like heavy grapes. bramble-thick my breath— I could not, as I breathed, choose among the scents, but culled them all, and drank them । as one drinks joy or sorrow k suddenly sent by fate; s I drank them all, • and when I touched your waist. * my blood became a nightingale, became like the running waters. 4 € Angelos Sikelianos Selected Poems Translated and Introduced by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard Thursday 30 Music James Thornbury Band plays at Old Taylor's 894 E 13th, beginning at 9:30 pm.
