spring haiku d’été – Van Gogh – irises = Van Gogh – iris

all these irises
swaying in the breeze
Van Gogh paints with ease

tous ces iris
qui ondulent dans la brise,
Van Gogh à l’aise

Linear B fragment KN 709 M m 01 two-handled cup

This is the first ever translation of a Linear B vessels or pottery fragment by Rita Roberts for her third, and final, year of university. In her third year, she is expected to master, first, Linear B tablets and fragments dealing with pottery and vessels, and secondly, tablet and fragments on textiles. The first category is the easier of the two to master, and so Rita will be concentrating on vessels and pottery tablets and fragments for the first quarter of her third year.
