Goliardo: Negative Love, John Donne -

Otra versión del mismo poema de alguien que no está de acuerdo con mi traducción.

goliardo:


Negative Love

by John Donne

I never stoop’d so low, as they

Which on an eye, cheek, lip can prey.

Seldom to them, which soar no higher

Than virtue or the mind to admire.

For sense, and understanding may

Know what gives fuel to their fire:

My love, though silly, is more brave,

For may I…

Amor Negativo

por John Donne

traducción Alejandro Vázquez del Mercado (aka Tormentas)

Jamás hice profundas reverencias.

como quienes un ojo o labio acechan,

y rara vez para admirar siquiera

cuanto queda en virtud o inteligencia.

Aunque el entendimiento bien pudiera

saber el combustible de su hoguera

mi amor es más valiente aunque más lerdo

pues a pesar de que algo echo de menos

no sé lo que es aquello que deseo.

.

¡Si fuese únicamente perfección

que tan sólo carece de expresión!

Pero negativos, tal es mi amor.

A cuanto todos aman digo no.

Y si ya alguno acaso descifró

lo que sabemos de saber no hay ocasión,

mostradme pues aquella nada y a esto;

es mi tranquilidad y mi consuelo

que no erraré aunque no vaya presto.

Negative Love
by John Donne
I never stoop’d so low, as they
Which on an eye, cheek, lip can prey.
Seldom to them, which soar no higher
Than virtue or the mind to admire.
For sense, and understanding may
Know what gives fuel to their fire:
My love, though silly, is more brave,
For may I miss, when’er I crave,
If I know yet, what I would have.
.
If that be simply perfectest
Which can by no way be express’d
But Negatives, my love is so.
To All, which all love, I say no.
.
If any who deciphers best,
What we know not, our selves, can know,
Let him teach me that nothing; this
As yet my ease and comfort is,
Though I speed not, I cannot miss.
