Thoreau, H. D.: Füst (Smoke in Hungarian)

Portre of Thoreau, H. D.

Smoke (English)

Light-winged Smoke, Icarian bird,
Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight,
Lark without song, and messenger of dawn
Circling above the hamlets as they nest;
Or else, departing dream, and shadowy form
Of midnight vision, gathering up thy skirts;
By night star-veiling, and by day
Darkening the light and blotting out the sun;
Go thou my incense upward from this hearth,
And ask the gods to pardon this clear flame.

Füst (Hungarian)

Hab-szárny Füst, Ikárosz-madár,
Tollaid szétolvadnak égbe-szállton;
Daltalan pacsirta, hajnalra-hírnök,
Falvak fölött, mint fészkeden, keringsz;
Vagy tűnő álom, éjféli látomás
Árnyalakja vagy, szoknyád tovalibben;
Éjten csillag-fátyol, nappal a fény
Sötétítője, égi-nap-kioltó;
Menj, tömjénem, e tűzhelyről, esengj
Isteneknél: tűrnék e tiszta lángot.
