POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE: Lucian BLAGA

  Eve’s Shadow From the sweet torments, from the bitter delights which carry our laments from death to revival’s flights,   from the night’s lust for pleasure, from love’s ardent kingdom and skies   you’re left with a shadow’s treasure, slightly bluish, rife under your eyes.   What could the gift be compared to, when […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE: Leonid DIMOV

    Disquietude It’s time you steered to the old bay : Tranquility and verbs are ripe. On the horizon’s copper lay Night butterflies fluttered a stripe.   You might not even recognise The ship that carries me away, Plundered by cruel army cries To idler Moluccas’ heyday,   And there’ll be nothing to recall […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE:Petre STOICA

  For These Joys For the joy of journeying across unlike sands for the joy of grasping gentler flashes of lightning for the joy of the tongue relishing the sweetness of the fruit ripened in the climate of the star-studded lichens for the joy of laughing in the summer sunshine through the rain for the […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE:Nichita STĂNESCU

  The Music Suddenly they appeared under the trees. They carried a guitar which left behind a heavy, triungular shadow on the night’s vasty meadow.   Then they started to sing and the melody stretched its cold arms towards you.   I kept staring at the ground, deep into the earth’s core, to behold your […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE: Anghel DUMBRĂVEANU

  Climbing Up the Years Water plants recall my sweetheart’s Transcendental movements. All I have left is Her body’s glow, her hair’s black sea, In the darkness of my Gothic tower, among dusty tomes And luminiscent owl eyes, among handbook leaves Whence the wounded clock recites the city’s hours In the twilight of the mauve […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE: Grigore VIERU

  Now I Am Awaiting Like another Master Mason Manole I immured my woman alive within the walls. When my thorough work was almost accomplished, I was unquenchably yearning for her. I craved to see her eyes – so I shattered the wall down to her eyes. I craved to see her mouth – so […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE: Marin SORESCU

    We Engrave Our Portraits On a prodigious wall of cells We engrave our portraits And then we pass away.   Sometimes there further remains on the wall Whatever we were holding in our hands while still alive : An amphora, a woman, a knife…   Our descendants walk behind, In throngs as if […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE: Ion PACHIA-TATOMIRESCU

  The Wheel (I) To Valentina My sweetheart, we are a wheel, each of us tied with our careworn rope ends to the other’s shoe sole and a child tumbles us head over heels weeping down the mountains of the universe. A spindle of frozen darkness dwells between us, supporting our somersault, how hard it […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE:Ion PACHIA-TATOMIRESCU

  The Golden Thread Springs from Love I take root and meaning from the honey’s light – since beauty beweds new rhythms due to myself, in the vivid-violet blue water, at the abysm’s waterfall, where few are those who kiss the absolute and where, from the farthest remoteness, dandelion hearts cease to be heard ; […]

POEZII ROMÂNEȘTI ÎN LIMBI STRĂINE: Adrian BOTEZ

  The Poet’s Sonnet there’s still summer lavishing in my parched soul the yearning for beauty still scratches my wing : vultures haven’t pronounced me less than a spit’s roll while lenient flowers still suffer my ebbing…   yet how long will this beam profligacy last how will I pay the rent in this adjourning […]
