Nemes Nagy Ágnes: Winter trees (Fák in English)
Fák (Hungarian)
Tanulni kell. A téli fákat.
Meg kell tanulni azt a sávot,
És a folyót a fák mögött,

Winter trees (English)Learn. The winter trees.
Hoar frosted from crown to root. Immovable curtains. And learn too of the zone where a crystal steams and trees merge into mists as the body in recollection of it. And behind the trees the river mute wings of the wild duck the white-blind blue night of hooded objects standing: it is here we must learn the trees' inexplicable deeds. |
