UNDER THE SNOWS OF THIS YEAR

“Mais où sont les neiges d’anten?”

Francois Villon(1431-1463?)

Where are the snows of yesteryear,

you asked, so long ago -

but they are here,

covering the shivering land,

and where are you,

the twice condemned man?

Under the snows of yesteryear,

your skull full of frozen soil,

as shall we be,

under the snows of this year.
