Noon in the Garden of Diem Phung Thi Sculpture - Poem by Nguyen Nha Tien

Taking refuge in the shade of Hue, The noon is quiet, the garden is deserted, I can feel the voices from the sea, Just a mute call but it stirs my echo.

Illustration: Tuan Anh

Yasunari Kawabata (*)

On this mystical mist I see

Kawabata's footprints

The moon in Japan is not like the moon in my homeland

The bright light of the heart sweeps away the cold snow

pure soul through many distant homelands
