Na paz das coisas selvagens, Wendell Berry

Nuno Amado

The peace of wild things, Wendell Berry

 

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief. I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light. For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Na paz das coisas selvagens, tradução de Ana Castro

 

Quando o desespero do mundo me domina

e acordo na noite ao mínimo ruído

com medo do que a vida possa ser pra mim e pros meus filhos,

vou estender-me onde o pato-carolino

repousa a sua beleza na água, e a garça-real alimenta.

Exponho-me à paz das coisas selvagens

que não empenham a vida antecipando

a dor. Apresento-me à placidez das águas.

e pressinto, sobre mim, as estrelas

aguardando a luz. Por momentos,

entregue à graça do mundo, sou livre.

Wendell Berry, “The peace of wild things”, The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry. Berkeley: Counterpoint, 1999
