summer haiku d’été – the growling rock = la roche qui grogne

the growling rock
those tortured stumps –
the road to nowhere

road to nowhere 620

la roche qui grogne
ces souches torturées –
le chemin sans fin

      Thanks!

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
