Creeley, Robert: A feleség (The Wife in Hungarian)

Portre of Creeley, Robert
Portre of Eörsi István

Back to the translator

The Wife (English)

I know two women

and the one

is tangible substance,

flesh and bone.

 

The other in my mind

occurs.

She keeps her strict

proportion there.

 

But how should I

propose to live

with two such creatures

in my bed –

 

or how shall he

who has a wife

yield two to one

and watch the other die.

A feleség (Hungarian)

Ismerek két nőt,

az egyik

érzékelhető szubsztancia,

hús és csont.

 

A másik elmémben

lakik.

Ott őrzi szabatos

arányait.

 

De hogyan éljek

két ilyen

teremtéssel

az ágyamban –

 

vagy akinek

felesége van

adhat-e kettőt egyért,

tűrve, hogy meghal a másik?
