I adore bilingual writings... I was totally consumed reading the first version out loud (I'm sure I got some pronunciations wrong but it still sounded stunning. Then when I read the English version it was a joy to understand the sounds that I had made... I really relished this write... Language is just so beautiful (don't you think?) Thank you Karen
