I prefer the absurdity of writing poems
to the absurdity of not writing poems.
No one feels good at four in the morning.
If ants feel good at four in the morning
—three cheers for the ants.
Някои обичат поезията
Някои -
обаче не всички.
Даже не повечето, а по-малко.
Без училищата, където я учат,
и без самите поети,
такива ще са едно на хиляда.
След всяка война
някой трябва да разтреби.
"Край и начало
البغض
لا نخدع أنفسنا :
هو يستطيع أن يبدع الجمال
عظيمة هي اتقاداته في الليلة المظلمة
رائعة هي خصلاته انفجاراته في الغبش الوردي
هو سيد التناقض
بين الضجيج و السكينة
بين الدم القاني و الثلج الأبيض
My apologies to everything that I can't be everywhere at once.
My apologies to everyone that I can't be each woman and each man.
I know I won't be justified as long as I live,
since I myself stand in my own way.
Don't bear me ill will, speech, that I borrow weighty words,
then labor heavily so that they may seem light.
עשרים ושבע עצמות,
שלשים וחמישה שרירים
יש בכל כרית של אצבעותינו החמש.
הרי זה די והותר,
כדי לכתוב את ״מיין קאמף״
או את ״פו הדב״.
Such certainty is beautiful, but uncertainty is more beautiful still
Wisława SzymborskaIt turns out I was right.
But nothing has come of it.
