ENGLISH :
The
Song of the Physalis
« Disse ao meu coração :
Olha por quantos
Caminhos vãos andámos!... »
Caminhos vãos andámos!... »
‘He said to my heart:
look how many
Roads we passed through
in vain!...’
Antero Tarquiniode Quental
Solemnia Verba
You cry, my Prince, and
into your child’s tears
Burning with the fire of
the South, my wounded soul flows
And everything in us
merges: our eyes, our lives, the summer,
The blood of the
peonies, my impenitent words!
Translated from the
French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
