Background
A description of the experience
Haiku by Tomas Tranströmer - Translated by Robert Archambeau and Lars-Håkan Svensson
I
A lamasery
with hanging gardens.
Battle pictures.
Thoughts stand unmoving
like the mosaic tiles
in the palace yard.
Up along the slopes
under the sun – the goats
were grazing on fire.
On the balcony
standing in a cage of sunbeams –
like a rainbow.
Humming in the mist.
There, a fishing-boat out far –
trophy on the waters.
