Ashbery, John: A Vase of Flowers

Portre of Ashbery, John

A Vase of Flowers (English)

The vase is white and would be a cylinder
If a cylinder were wider at the top than at the bottom.
The flowers are red, white and blue.

All contact with the flowers is forbidden.

The white flowers strain upward
Into a pallid air of their references,
Pushed slightly by the red and blue flowers.

If you were going to be jealous of the flowers,
Please forget it.
They mean absolutely nothing to me.

Egy vázányi virág (Hungarian)

A váza fehér, és henger volna,
ha a henger a tetején szélesebb, mint az alján.
A virágok pirosak, fehérek és kékek.

A virágokkal minden kapcsolat tilos.

A fehér virágok fölfelé igyekeznek
vonatkozásaik fakó levegőjébe, míg
a piros és a kék virágok egy kicsit löknek rajtuk.

Ha netán féltékeny volnál a virágokra,
kérlek, nyugodj meg.
A virágok nekem abszolút nem mondanak semmit.
