Um trato
Faço um trato contigo, Walt Whitman –
Já te detestei tempo bastante.
Venho a ti como guri grande
Que teve pai cabeça-dura;
Já tenho idade bastante pra fazer amigos.
Foste tu que rachaste a lenha verde,
Agora é hora de esculpi-la.
Temos a mesma seiva e raiz -
Que haja troca entre nós.
A pact
I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman -
I have detested you long enough.
I come to you as a grown child
Who has had a pig-headed father;
I am old enough now to make friends.
It was you that broke the new wood,
Now is a time for carving.
We have one sap and one root -
Let there be commerce between us.
I have detested you long enough.
I come to you as a grown child
Who has had a pig-headed father;
I am old enough now to make friends.
It was you that broke the new wood,
Now is a time for carving.
We have one sap and one root -
Let there be commerce between us.
Ezra Pound (tradução - Luiz Carlos Quirino)
