#1631 A new chapter ... leaving the Kumano Kodo
Kristjaan have chosen a wonderful sonnet by William Shakespeare titled: 'From you have I been absent in the spring', in his episode of "Distillation". CHALLENGE: to create a haiku or tanka inspired on this longer poem. Or create a haiku or tanka from the poem.
Sonnet 98: From you have I been absent in the spring
Hath put a spirit of youth in everything,
That heavy Saturn laughed and leaped with him.
Yet nor the lays of birds, nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue,
Could make me any summer’s story tell,
Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew:
Nor did I wonder at the lily’s white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight
Drawn after you, – you pattern of all those.
Yet seem’d it winter still, and, you away,
As with your shadow I with these did play.
© William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
