MacNeice, Louis: Hol az igazság? (What is truth? in Hungarian)

Portre of MacNeice, Louis
Portre of Vas István

Back to the translator

What is truth? (English)

What is truth? says Pilate,

Waits for no answer;

Double the stakes says the clock

To the ageing dancer;

Double the guard, says Authority,

Treble the bars;

Holes in the sky, says the child

Scanning the stars.

Hol az igazság? (Hungarian)

Hol az igazság? – kérdi Pilátus.

Nem vár feleletre.

Kettőzd a tétet – mondja az óra

a táncosnak, aki már öregedne.

Kettőzd az őrt! – így szól a Hatalom

s határokat szabat.

Lyukak az égen– mondja a gyermek,

ha nézi a csillagokat.
