In a Station of the Metro

Petals on a wet, black bough.
– Ezra Pound
(1885-1972)
This poem was first published in 1913 and is considered one of the leading poems of the Imagist tradition. Pound’s process of deletion from thirty lines to only fourteen words typifies Imagism’s focus on economy of language, precision of imagery and experimenting with non-traditional verse forms. The poem is Pound’s written equivalent for the moment of revelation and intense emotion he felt at the Paris Metro’s Concorde station.
It is sometimes considered to be the first haiku published in English, though it lacks the traditional 3-line, 17-syllable structure of haiku.

The Montgolfier Brothers
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώναBillie Holiday’s burned voice
had as many shadows as lights,
a mournful candelabra against a sleek piano,
the gardenia her signature under that ruined face.
(Now you’re cooking, drummer to bass,
magic spoon, magic needle.
Take all day if you have to
with your mirror and your bracelet of song.)
Fact is, the invention of women under siege
has been to sharpen love in the service of myth.
If you can’t be free, be a mystery.
– Rita Dove (b. 1952)

Αν μπορούσες να ακουστείς
θα σου έδινα την ψυχή μου
να την πας ως την άκρη του κόσμου.
Nα την κάνεις περιπατητικό αστέρι ή ξύλα
αναμμένα για τα Χριστούγγενα— στο τζάκι του Νέγρου
ή του Έλληνα χωρικού. Να την κάνεις ανθισμένη μηλιά
στα παράθυρα των φυλακισμένων. Εγώ
μπορεί να μην υπάρχω ως αύριο.
Αν μπορούσες να ακουστείς
θα σου έδινα την ψυχή μου
να την κάνεις τις νύχτες
ορατές νότες, έγχρωμες,
στον αέρα του κόσμου.
Να την κάνεις αγάπη.
The Kid with the Trumpet
If you could be heard
I would give you my soul
To take it to the end of the world;
To turn it into a strolling star or kindling
Lit for Christmas—in the fireplace of the Negro
Or that of the Greek peasant.
To turn it into a blossoming apple tree
At the windows of prisoners. As for me,
I may not even exist till tomorrow.
If you could be heard
I would give you my soul
To transform it at night
Into visible, colourful notes
In the air of the world;
To mould it into love.
Nikiforos Vrettakos (1912-1991) was a Greek writer and poet.
