Lierre a cru au flanc de l'orme
L'a serré entre ses rets
S'est servi, a bu sa sève
Enlacé, jusqu'à ce qu'il dorme.

Vent mauvais s'en vient bientôt
Rebat l'amant et l'ormeau
Au plus fort le tronc se fend
Casse l'ancêtre et l'impétrant !

Ils meurent tout deux d'ignorer
Que se défendre est heureux
Qu'épuiser son soutien met
En péril les astucieux.

Bien malin qui y verrait
Une leçon à en tirer
Le climat, la politique
Sont de fines mécaniques :blobPikaUvU:

"Le lierre et l'ormeau"

The Snake and the Donkey (2/2)

The more the snake tried hard to make
Affection grow, the more would break
The chance of friendship, trust, and care,
His anger rising everywhere.

The donkey's tricks grew wild and free,
But soon got lost in his own glee,
And in the end, both learned that day
That love must come its very own way.

So listen, children, to this tale:
True kindness never shall prevail
When forced with anger, threat, or might,
But only through a gentle light.

The Snake and the Donkey (1/2)

In a meadow green and bright,
Lived a snake with all his might,
Who wanted love by force and power,
Demanding praise each passing hour.

A donkey near him danced and played,
With tricks and jokes, he never swayed,
He laughed and jumped and made such noise,
Creating chaos, his favorite ploys.

The snake would hiss, "You must adore!"
But love can't come from threats and roar,
The donkey spun and danced around,
His laughter echoing without a sound.

Hah! I just discovered Fable, which is the better version of (boring) Goodreads. But just like the latter, I'll be using it primarily to track my reading progress and goals (note to self: don't let the pressure to read many books get in the way of actually enjoying reading). I also plan to post short book reviews there. And who knows, maybe I'll find a new community!

Anyone here on Fable? How's your experience, so far?
