Thank you for sharing this poem by Senghor. One doesn't come across lines like this every day: "You are the mud and plasma of the world’s leafy spring."
I appreciate the reminder that great national leaders and statesmen are sometimes poets. It would be wonderful to read the original French side by side with the English translation.
