sin decir lo que ve.

não dizendo o que ele vê.

Matthew Ten Twenty-Six

There is nothing covered that will not be shown,
nor hidden that will not be known.

--Mt. 10:26, translation by Donald Traxler

Il n'y a rien de couvert qui ne sera pas montré,
ni caché qui ne sera pas connu.

No hay nada cubierto que no se mostrará,
ni oculto que no se sabrá.

Não há nada coberto que não seja mostrado,
nem oculto que não será conhecido.

אין דבר שלא יראה ולא נעלם שלא יודע׃

אין מכוסה שום דבר שלא יוצג,

ולא מוסתר שלא יהיה ידוע.

Where do all these visits to the poetry/photography blog come from?

As I write this, we have had 71,766 visits to this blog. I can show you where they came from this past week, but I can't explain it.

So there you have it, at least for the past week. I can't explain it. Russia is high, the US is low (maybe we have other things on our minds these days).

If you celebrate it, happy Thanksgiving.

The Words Pass Through Him / Les mots passent à travers lui /

The words pass through him,
unimpeded and undistorted,
unobstructed by dogma
or design.

Les mots passent à travers lui,
sans entrave et sans distorsion,
non obstrué par le dogme
ou la conception.

Las palabras pasan a través de él
sin trabas y sin distorsiones,
sin obstáculos por el dogma
o diseño.

As palavras passam por ele,
desimpedido e sem distorção,
desobstruído pelo dogma
ou disenho.
