It’s Haiku Day for the Wordcount Blogathon 2013, and I’ve been inspired by a post by Thomas Rose-Masters on linguistblog.com. So thank you for the image and do go and read what he had to say about it.

About forwardtranslations
I'm a freelance literary translator from German and French to English. The title of my blog comes from Mary Schmich's description of reading: it struck home with me, and seems especially apt for translated fiction. Here are some of my musings on what I'm reading, re-reading, reading to my children, and translating.
Beautiful haiku! Plus I love that photo by Suzanne Hamilton!
Thanks, Annette
I love this visual, of gold into gold.
Thanks, Ruth, although credit for the image goes to Thomas.
