Terre Sigilée

Chapter 1 :
Yuko Akita had two passions.  
The haiku.  
And the snow.  
 
The haiku is a Japanese literary style. It is                           
 a short poem composed of three lines and of seventeen     
sylabes. Not one beside.                                                                  
 
Snow is a poem. A poem that falls from the  
clouds in white and light flakes.  
This poem comes from the mouth of the sky, of the hand of   
God.  
 
It carries a name. A name of a bright whiteness.  
Snow.

First chapter of the novel ”Snow”, by Maxence Fermine 1999.
