I am so happy you like it, Col!
Intriguing and beautiful, Lori. It speaks to me loud & clear. Things that, I, have pondered. xo
These are things we all ponder at time, don't we? Thank you for your kind words.
I am glad I got back to your website, Lori. The translation is simply moving; it is as deep as in Romanian. Blaga would be proud of you:-)

~* Thank you, Ben. I did have some big issues with the website, with the hosting company in particular. I need to change hosting again as soon as possible, because I am really unhappy with this FatCow hosting, which I chose because it was not too expensive but also because they use wind energy. It is not worth it though and I am really sad.
Hi Lori,
I love this translation, and this repeating line: "It is so quiet all around that I think I can hear the moon rays crashing into the window." The line captures a feeling.
The poem is a bit spooky, but what it says to me, is not supernatural, but the fact that within every one us is the legacy of what has come before, and what we will leave for a future generation.
Like I've said before, it would be great if you found a publisher for your translations. You always succeed in capturing a rhythm and a mood, and the author's meaning.
