And when we give the rose we forget we’ve given nothing yet but the rose.

From the author of the bilingual collection of poems, Soundless Guitars, Adulterous Dreams, here’s a collection of unpretentious, pleasing thoughts, authored by ordinary speakers of our collective wisdom. But now enhanced and presented in English, Spanish, and French. “It takes more than looking to see; more than seeing to understand; more than understanding… to uphold the truth.” Regardless of how this idea may resonate in your first language, pondering on it in any second or third YES-SI-OUI language adds to the enjoyment that we all expect from a good book. So take out a minute and do your mind a favor! Read them in the language of your choice; brush up on what you have learned, or meet your favorite new language halfway. Play with them. Say them aloud. And let your mind enjoy the game.
