Zacharias Papantoniou,
The High Mountains — The Malediction of the Pine
“ The Malediction of the Pine 1 You have cut down the pine, Yannis But why? Why?”“It's the wind that whispers...” Yannis said to himself and he walked on. Stones and pebbles get hot, and the heath is blazing,He must find a spring, small a tiny stream. Under the sun's fire, in the middle of the fields there a bush...Yannis lies down underneath to find a little shade. But the bush gathers up its branches, it goes away!“Then I will never be able to rest, said Yannis. But why? Why?” 2 —Yannis, where do you want to go like this? ”
