Huxley, Aldous: Tinieblas (Darkness in Spanish)

Portre of Huxley, Aldous

Darkness (English)

My close-walled soul has never known

That innermost darkness, dazzling sight,

Like the blind point, whence the visions spring

In the core of the gazer's chrysolite…

The mystic darkness that laps God's throne

In a splendour beyond imagining,     

So passing bright.

 

But the many twisted darknesses

That range the city to and fro,

In aimless subtlety pass and part

And ebb and glutinously flow;

Darkness of lust and avarice,

Of the crippled body and the crooked heart…          

These darknesses I know.

Tinieblas (Spanish)

Mi alma tapiada jamás ha conocido

oscuridad tan íntima, paisaje deslumbrante,

como el punto ciego, del que brotan las visiones

en el corazón de la mirada crisólita…

la oscuridad mística que acaricia el trono de Dios

en un esplendor más allá de lo imaginable,

tan rápido y brillante.

 

Mas las muchas tinieblas retorcidas

que por la ciudad se despliegan,

sutilmente confusas, se cruzan y separan,

menguan y viscosamente fluyen;

tinieblas de lujuria y avaricia,

del cuerpo devastado y del corazón indecente…

yo conozco estas tinieblas.
