Kavanagh, Patrick: Szentnek lenni (Sanctity in Hungarian)

Portre of Kavanagh, Patrick

Sanctity (English)

To be a poet and not know the trade
To be a lover and repel all women;
Twin ironies by which great saints are made,
The agonising pincer-jaws of Heaven.

Szentnek lenni (Hungarian)

Költőnek lenni, s nem tudni, mi mód,
Szeretőnek, s ellökni mind a nőket;
Iker-gúnyok, nagy szentekhez valók,
Haldokló állcsont-fogói az Égnek.
