The Paradise Bird (Paperback)

Beauty of the day Beauty of the lord Beauty of the night My love My beautiful love I would have liked to offer you branches and fruits The orchid flower with sensual vanilla A well ripened custard apple And the fragrant mango. I drink from your chalice a truly lukewarm verbena And you revive me By asking me for the root of life How to tell the ephemeral, the feeling of eternity, the lightness of being, the depths, the strength of the currents, the vitality of the movement, the calm still waters. Eric Mansfield transports you into a poetic and underwater world, a long ocean voyage, put into words by the wealth of symbols and density of words."
