The nobleman steps down from his carriage.
It’s a district in the mountain valley.
The white shapes of old hands knit caps for thousands
of spice-boxes.
At the manor, the animals are dressed up.
The fox is in a tuxedo, a russet flame between his
tails.
The nobleman lights candlesticks and eats rabbit stew.
(Paul Colinet)
