(American, September 17, 1883 – March 4, 1963)
.THIS IS JUST TO SAY
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
William Carlos Williams
CSAK AZT AKAROM MONDANI
megettem
a hűtő-
szekrényből
a szilvát
pedig
alighanem
a reggelihez
tetted el
Bocsáss meg
felséges volt
olyan hűs
olyan édes
Várady Szabolcs fordítása
[William Carlos Williams: AMERIKAI BESZÉDRE, Európa Könyvkiadó, Budapest, 1984]
