Komachi

nu cred ca ati auzit vreodata de poetesa Komachi. nici eu nu am auzit/citit/pana nu am dat de ea peste un site. A trait in Japonia cu vreo 800 de ani inaintea erei noastre. poezia ei e... de fapt va las pe voi sa o gustati.

(de dragul poeziei am lasat versurile in traducerea lor in engleza. nu am vrut sa le stirbesc si mai tare dand o traducere grabita si aproximativa)

                 On such a night as this
             When no moon lights your way to me,
               I wake, my passion blazing,
             My breast a fire raging, exploding flame
             While within me my heart chars.
                      (Tr. Earl Miner)

              The flowers withered
             Their color faded away
               While meaninglessly
             I spent my days in the world
             And the long rains were falling.
                         (Tr. Donald Keene)

               Though I visit him
             Ceaselessly
               In my dreams,
             The sum of all those meetings
             Is less than a single waking glimpse.
                         (Tr. Helen Craig McCullough)
