Din considerente personale, am sa insotesc fiecare articol din seria “Eros festival” de cate o poezie erotica a lui E.E. Cummings. Va voi reda varianta originala in limba engleza dar si traducerea lui Dan Sociu. Pentru cine nu stie, Cummings este un inventator al limbii, un adept al versificarii libere de orice constrangere. Asa ca nu fiti prea mirati de cum imparte randurile. Exista acolo o melodicitate pe care merita s-o descoperiti.

my lady is an ivory garden,

 

who is filled with flowers.

 

under the silent and great blossom

 

of subtle colour which is her hair

 

her ear is a frail and mysterious flower

 

her nostrils

 

are timid and exquisite

 

flowers skilfully moving

 

with the least caress of breathing, her

 

eyes and her mouth are three flowers.

 

 

My lady is an ivory garden

 

her shoulders are smooth and shining

 

flowers

 

beneath which are the sharp and new

 

flowers of her little breasts tilting upward with love

 

her hand is five flowers

 

upon her whitest belly there is a clever dreamshaped flower

 

and her wrists are the merest most wonderful flowers

my lady is filled

 

with flowers

 

her feet are slenderest

 

each is five flowers her ankle

 

is a minute flower

 

my lady’s knees are two flowers

 

---

 

 

 

Her thighs are huge and firm flowers of night

 

and perfectly between

 

them eagerly sleepins

 

is

 

the sudden flower of complete amazement

 

 

my lady who is filled with flowers

 

is an ivory garden.

 

And the moon is a young man

 

who i see regularly, about twilight,

 

enter the garden smiling to

 

himself.

doamna mea e o gradina ivorie

 

plina de flori.

 

sub tacuta si mareata inflorire

 

de culori subtile care e parul ei

 

urechea e o floare misterioasa si fragila

 

narile ei

 

sunt timide si rafinate

 

flori iscusit miscandu-se

 

la cea mai usoara mangaiere a respiratiei,

 

ochii si gura ei sunt trei flori.

 

 

Doamna mea e o gradina ivorie

 

umerii ii sunt flori

 

fine si stralucitoare

 

sub care cresc florile tuguiate si noi

 

ale sanilor ei micuti leganandu-se cu dragoste,

 

mana ei sunt cinci flori

 

peste pantecul ei cel mai alb e o floare isteata de vis

 

si incheieturile ei sunt cele mai minunate flori

doamna mea e plina

 

de flori

 

picioarele ei sunt

 

cinci flori fiecare glezna

 

e o floricica

 

genunchii doamnei mele sunt doua flori

 

---

 

 

 

Coapsele ei sunt uriasele si puternicele flori ale noptii

 

si intre ele perfecta

 

adormita si doritoare

 

e

 

neasteptata floare a totalei incantari

doamna mea care e plina de flori

 

e o gradina ivorie

 

Si luna e un tanar

 

pe care-l vad deseori, dupa amurg,

 

cum intra in gradina

 

zambindu-si
