THE SMILE / ZAMBETUL

There is a Smile of Love
And there is a Smile of Deceit
And there is a Smile of Smiles
In which these two Smiles meet

And there is a Frown of Hate
And there is a Frown of disdain
And there is a Frown of Frowns
Which you strive to forget in vain

For it sticks in the Hearts deep Core
And it sticks in the deep Back bone
And no Smile that ever was smild
But only one Smile alone

That betwixt the Cradle & Grave
It only once Smild can be
But when it once is Smild
Theres an end to all Misery

WILLIAM BLAKE

Zambetul
 
Exista un Zambet de Dragoste
Exista un Zambet Minciuna
Exista un Zambet al Zambetelor
In care cele doua se-aduna.
 
Exist-o-Ncruntare de Ura
Exist-o-Ncruntare Dispret
Exist-o-Ncruntare-a-Ncruntarilor
Ce vrei s-o uiti cu orice pret.
 
Caci ea se-nfige-n Inim-Adanc
Si se-nfige-n Oase profund
Si nu-i zambet ce fu vreodata zambit
Doar-acel singur zambet bland.
 
Care intre leagan si mormant
Poate fi zambit doar o data
Insa atunci cand cand este o data zambit
Se sfarseste suferinta toata.

 

Maria Magdalena
