À propos du chemin, by José Manuel Arango.

Il n'y a pas un chemin, dit le maitre.

Et s'il y avait un chemin,
personne ne pourrait le trouver.

Et si quelqu'un par hasard le trouvait,
Il ne pourrait pas l'enseigner aux autres.

French, at last.

From today on, this blog goes from bragging about being bilingual to the more fulfilling attitude of showing off a literature repertoire in three languages. And French isn't just another language under the sun. Its native speakers will not allow you speak it clumsily.

With it comes an magnificent cast of poets and writers that just makes you afraid of loosing much in the translation. A cast that would push you to make a pact with the devil only to honor so many wonderful pages.

Perhaps because what I wrote above, the basic interface will still be English.

However, it´s a happy enough excuse to promise, as before, one more language. It could be German.


Serve yourself, reader.
