Hayet Ben Bada:
Algerian interpreter, translator and teacher.
There were many things in September, sweet and tender. Something like love, something like adventure. Something like childhood, something like the rain, like the water.
This passage is ‘poetic and impressionistic’.
Itâs saying that in September, feelings and images overlapâ’tenderness, romance, excitement, innocence, and natural elements’ (rain/water) all blend together.
– âsweet and tenderâ:
â gentle emotions
– âsomething like love/adventure/childhoodâ
â September evokes multiple âstates of mindâ
– âlike the rain, like the waterâ
â the seasonâs atmosphere is flowing, soft, and reflectiveâpossibly nostalgic.
