Masters, Edgar Lee: A Spoon River-i holtak - Thomas Rhodes (Spoon River Anthology - Thomas Rhodes in Hungarian)

Portre of Masters, Edgar Lee

Spoon River Anthology - Thomas Rhodes (English)

  Very well, you liberals,

  And navigators into realms intellectual,

  You sailors through heights imaginative,

  Blown about by erratic currents, tumbling into air pockets,

  You Margaret Fuller Slacks, Petits,

  And Tennessee Claflin Shopes--

  You found with all your boasted wisdom

  How hard at the last it is

  To keep the soul from splitting into cellular atoms.

  While we, seekers of earth's treasures

  Getters and hoarders of gold,

  Are self-contained, compact, harmonized,

  Even to the end.

A Spoon River-i holtak - Thomas Rhodes (Hungarian)

Hát jól van, szabadelvűek,

szellemi tartományok navigátorai,

álomcsúcson kódorgó tengerészek,

csak evickéljetek az árral, potyogjatok a légörvénybe,

Margaret-írócskák, Petit-poéták,

Tennessee-lélekidomárok

az a ti nagy-nagy tudományotok csak arra jó,

hogy a végén kiderítse, milyen nehéz

a lelket visszafogni, ha sejtes atomokra bomlik.

Eközben mi, a földi javak kutatói,

aranylelők, aranyszedők,

elférünk önmagunkba, derűsen és szilárdan

a végső percig.
