Poem by Fadi Tofeili
كتل خرساء
صامتة لا تجيب على أسئلة الهواء المكهرب،
ولا تحدّث أحداً.
تجثو الجبالُ ككتلٍ خرساء،
تغفو في سكينةٍ ارتسمت فوقها
كبشًا عملاقًا من بخار،
أو فأرًا بحريًّا بحجم كوكبٍ
تكوّن في دهور متلاحقة.
السماء حافلة بالسهول
وكثبان الهواء والمراعي الطائرة،
وعلى الأرض مساكن حشرات تحجّرت
وغدت منافذ إلى عوالم لا ضوء فيها.
في تلك
اللحظة
فقط
أحسّ
المطرُ
أنّ
ساعتَه
قد
حانت
من
جديد
Mute Masses
Silent, they disregard the queries of the electrified wind,
speak to no one.
The mountains kneel like mute masses,
slumber in quietude
beneath a giant ram outlined in vapor,
or an aquatic mouse the size of a planet,
fashioned during successive ages.
The sky is rife with plains,
wind dunes and gliding pastures,
and on land the dwellings of insects have petrified
and become openings to tenebrous worlds
At that
moment
only
the rain
sensed
that its hour
had
come
once more

Hope is the thing with Feathers
Emily Dickinson
1891
Hope is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the gale - is heard
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it on the chillest land –
And on the strangest sea –
Yet – never in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

Uti vår hage
Uti vår hage där växa blå bär.
Kom hjärtans fröjd
Vill du mig någe', så trefass vi där!
Kom liljor och aquileja,
Kom rosor och salvia,
Kom ljuva krusmynta, kom hjärtans fröjd!
Fagra små blommor där bjuda till dans.
Kom hjärtans fröjd
Vill du, så binder jag åt dig en krans!
Kom liljor och aquileja,
Kom rosor och salvia,
Kom ljuva krusmynta, kom hjärtans fröjd!
Kransen den sätter jag sen i ditt hår,
Kom hjärtans fröjd
Solen den dalar men hoppet uppgår!
Kom liljor och aquileja,
Kom rosor och salvia,
Kom ljuva krusmynta, kom hjärtans fröjd!
Uti vår hage finns blommor och bär,
Kom hjärtans fröjd
Men utav alla du kärast mig är!
Kom liljor och aquileja,
Kom rosor och salvia,
Kom ljuva krusmynta, kom hjärtans fröjd!
In Our Pasture
In our pasture grows blue berries
Come joy from the heart
If you need me for something, we will meet there!
Come lillies and aquilegia, come roses and salvia!
Come sweet crisp-leafed mint, come joy from the heart!
Fair little flowers will ask for a dance.
Come joy from the heart!
If you want, I can make a crown of flowers.
Come lillies and aquilegia, come roses and salvia!
Come sweet crisp-leafed mint, come joy from the heart!
The crown of flowers I will put in your hair
Come joy from the heart!
The sun is low, but the hope stays strong
Come lillies and aquilegia, come roses and salvia!
Come sweet crisp-leafed mint, come joy from the heart!
In our pasture there are flowers and berries.
Come joy from the heart!
But out of everyone, I love you the most.
Come lillies and aquilegia, come roses and salvia!
Come sweet crisp-leafed mint, come joy from the heart!

Excerpt from Walt Whitmann , book VII song of the open road n.6
Leaves of grass 1855
Now i see the secret of the making of the best persons
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
