832 | SHORT DESCRIPTION OF A SUMMER

Vincent Van Gogh

Short description of a summer

Fires. The summer blazes fourfold from all sides.

The acacia groves are in a stunning bloom.

In the vineyards the green soul of the wine glimmers,

And the wild poppy bleeds out in the grain.

Twilight arrives,

And over the silver bridge walks the moon.

The world is like a loaf of bread fresh from the oven,

and the night indulges it.

JAN SKÁCEL, Czech Republic (1922-1989)
