Spring from Winter. Poem by Matthías Johannessen. Illustrations and cover by Gunnlaugur Scheving.
From Spring to Winter:
And the earth is still as beautiful as ever
a mountain-blue sea, with a drop of the outermost waves
Hamraey rises from the white morning flames
in silent majesty with a sun that stands still –
The wound is still as blue as before.
and seals guard the bare shores,
Spring flows like water through your hands.
worldless with a sun that stands still –
winds send horses over the edge
White winters, bind life in chains,
It is known that the world will tremble.
in the midst of war, that day passes like a ripple
through the waters of time, but beautiful as ever
A fold rises from the bruise with a sun that stands still.
