TWAIN Editie bilingva romana-engleza Adanca mare... Adanca mare sub a lunei fata, Inseninata de-a ei blonda raza, O lume-ntreaga-n fundul ei viseaza Si stele poarta pe oglinda-i creata. Dar mani - ea falnica, cumplit turbeaza Si misca lumea ei negru-mareata, Pe-ale ei mii si mii de nalte brate Ducand peire - tari inmormanteaza. Azi un diluviu, mane-o murmuire, O armonie care capat n-are - Astfel e-a ei intunecata fire, Astfel e sufletu-n antica mare. Ce-i pasa ce simtiri o sa ni-nspire: Indiferenta, solitara - mare! *** The Deep Deep Sea... The deep deep sea beneath the moon's face silver, Illumined by her shimmery thread, A world entire dreams upon her bed And stars she carries on her rumpled mirror. Yet tomorrow - rabidly she upturns her foundations And moves her world majestic-black, With thousand-high-arm thwack Wreaking disaster - she entombs but nations. Deluge today, tomorrow humming creature, A harmony that is without end - Thus is her tenebrous nature, Thus is the soul inside the ancient sea. What does she care, the feelings she'll inspire: Indifferent, solitary - sea!
