Life / Viata

Life

 

 

My life closed twice before its close;

It yet remains to see

If Immortality unveil

A third event to me,

 

 

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,

As these that twice befell.

Parting is all we know of heaven,

And all we need of hell.

 

 

 

Emily Dickinson

Viata

 

De doua ori cortina a cazut

ramâne a se vedea

de Nemurirea pe-a mea scena

un act trei va juca,

 

un act prea greu de conceput

ca cele de-altadat’,

Plecarea-i tot ce stim de Rai,

si tot ce vrem din Iad.

 

 

 

Romanian version, Maria Magdalena Biela
