Mélodie Antique Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

(dedicated to Ms. Sarah Chang, a great violinist)

the thinly sky
covered with forests
grandeur near mountains
unique fenced thatched home

green leaves
the road
roofs
pure

clarity
precision
expression
concentration

more profound
close relationship
an art of suggestion
essential temperaments

imperceptibly
illustratively
deliberate
sensitive

(inspired by Salvador Dali's Landscape Near Figueras)
