Poe, Edgar Allan: To Margaret

Portre of Poe, Edgar Allan

To Margaret (English)

Who hath seduced thee to this foul revolt

From the pure well of Beauty undefiled?

So banished from true wisdom to prefer

Such squalid wit to honourable rhyme?

To write? To scribble? nonsense & no more?

I will not write: upon this argument

To write is human – not to write divine.

Margaretnek (Hungarian)

Mi csábított a Szépség szennyezetlen

Forrásától ily undok lázadásig?

Az igaz bölcsességet eltaszítva

Tisztes verset feladsz torz csillogásárt?

Írni? Írkálni? Csak a képtelenség?

Ilyen szellemben nincs is kedvem írni

Írni emberi - isteni nem írni.
