Card 17
The Stork
La Cigogne
Original French
Cette cigogne voyage,
Te dit de quitter ta plage.
Qu’au nord, qu’au sud, qu’importe,
Assurément tu partiras.
English
This traveling stork tells you to leave your shore. North or south—it does not matter—you will certainly depart.
The reading carried by the verse
The stork calls for departure and change of place. The direction matters less than accepting that movement has begun.
What familiar shore are you being asked to leave?
Translator's note: “Ta plage” is a plausible reading of the damaged second line; it means your shore or familiar ground.
