Carlos Drummond de Andrade  Souvenir of the Ancient World  Clara
strolled in the garden with the children. The sky was green over
the grass, the water was golden under the bridges, other
elements were blue and rose and orange, a policeman smiled,
bicycles passed, a girl stepped onto the lawn to catch a bird,
the whole world--Germany, China-- all was quiet around Clara.
The children looked at the sky: it was not forbidden. Clara
feared missing the eleven o'clock trolley: She waited for
letters slow to arrive, in the morning! They had gardens, they
had mornings in those days!  Submitted: Monday, January 20, 2003
