Africká noc

Африканская ночь

Přišla půlnoc. Neprostupné temno.
V řece jenom odraz měsíce.
Za řekou je hlučno jako ve dne,

šumí tábor, hoří hranice.

Komu budou patřit zítra z rána

tato místa? Jim anebo nám?
Jim pomáhá v boji černý kámen,

a nám zlatý křížek — talisman.

Obcházím zas pahorky i jámy,

věci zde — tam muly postavím.
V tomto divném kraji na Sidamo

není stromů, nedaří se jím,

Radost pomyslit: Když zvítězíme,

— málokdo nám dosud odolal —

cesta, která jako had se vine

po pahorcích, rozběhne se dál.

Jestli zítra dravé vlny Uebi

poslední můj vzdech snad zachytí,

mrtev uzřím ohnivého boha
s černým bohem v nebi válčiti.

The ship

"What d' you see in my eyes, slightly sparkling, / In my look, hazed with opaque mist?" / "There I saw the sea's deepest darkness / With a big sunken beautiful ship. / / That fine ship... More glorious and braver / None had seen over deep of the sea. / Its high masts under windbreath ...

A fragment of «Tale of Kings»

Once a dark horseman oh a black horse came / He was clad in a black velvet cloak, full of pride. / And his look was so dreadful, as a town aflame, / And so glaring as a flash in the night. / / Curly hair upon shoulders like serpents did twist, / And his voice was a song of the earth and...

Giraffe

Today, I can see that your glance is especially sad, / And hands are especially thin and the hair if up fluff. / Hey, listen, as far as in Africa, down at lake Chad / Is walking a graceful Giraffe. / / He's owing that elegance, slender and languor he is, / Such beautiful patterns are sh...

The Gates of Paradise

There are no seven diamond seals to close / the eternal gates of God's great paradise / it has no tempting charms, no beckoning glow / and to the people remains unrecognized. / / a doorway in a wall long since forsaken / a mass of stones and moss and nothing more. / nearby, a beggar, ...
