[Esp. /Eng.]

Ermita de San Saturio con el río Duero parcialmente congelado. Soria, España.

La tarde del lunes, lunes de San Juan / todos los sorianos a las Bailas van. / A San Polo bajan, bajan a bailar, / sobre la pradera de verde solar.

Esa pradera de verde solar que en invierno se queda hablando a solas frente al Duero helado y contándose sagas de romanos y visigodas, visigodos y romanas, moras y cristianos, judíos y moras, cristianas y judíos...


San Saturio hermitage with the Duero river partially frozen. Soria, Spain

[Translation of a popular song] Monday afternoon, San Juan's Monday / the people of Soria go to the Bailas. / They go down to San Polo, they go down to dance / on the sunny green meadow

That sunny green meadow stays in winter, talking alone facing the frozen Duero river and telling itself sagas of Roman lads and Visigoth lasses, Muslim lasses and Christian lads, Jewish lads and Muslim lasses, Christian lasses and Jewish lads...

Piscis volans

Piscis volansPiscis volans

[Esp. /Eusk.]

Mares altos del iris,
ciclos cristalinos,
peces que, si saltan,
vuelven en sí mismo.

Metamorfosis raras
del amor ambiguo.
Un misterio arcaico
de animal divino.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Irisaren itsaso garaiak,
ziklo kristalinoak,
jauzi eginez gero beren baitara
itzultzen diren arrainak.

Maitasun anbiguoaren
matamorfosi arraroa.
Jainkozko animaliaren
misterio arkaikoa.

<b>Gabriel Celaya</b> - Piscis Volans (extracto)<i>Objetos Poéticos</i> (1940-41)

El viento no escucha. No
escuchan las piedras, pero
hay que hablar, comunicar,
con las piedras, con el viento.


The wind doesn't listen.
The rocks don't listen, but
we have to talk, communicate,
with the rocks, with the wind.


José Hierro Con las piedras, con el viento (1950)
