Manufacture French, 1500, after a cartoon Botticelli Tapestry

Manufacture French, 1500, after a cartoon Botticelli Tapestry

But time –
what it takes it removes incompletely
the way a moonless night devours trees
the way dark extinguishes a forest.
Carole Glasser Langille, from “Hansel and Gretel,”
 In Cannon Cave (Brick Books, 1997)

 Pero el tiempo -
lo que se necesita  elimina de forma incompleta
de la misma la manera en que una noche sin luna devora árboles
el camino oscuro extingue un bosque.
