A Mild March Afternoon

 

artist: Jo Grundy



Here's a poem by Antonio Machado:


 

"The afternoon is bright,

with spring in the air,

a mild March afternoon,

with the breath of April stirring,

I am alone in the quiet patio

looking for some old untried illusion -

some shadow on the whiteness of the wall

some memory asleep

on the stone rim of the fountain,

perhaps in the air

the light swish of some trailing gown."



-  Antonio Machado, 1875-1939
