W.B.
Yeats
“If I make the
lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.”
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.”
Se eu escurecer os cílios
E tornar os olhos mais brilhantes
E os lábios mais vermelhos,
Ou perguntar se tudo está certo
Para o espelho atrás do espelho,
Sem exibir vaidade:
Eu estarei olhando para o rosto que eu tive
Antes do mundo ser feito ".
“When you are old
and grey and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep”
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep”
"Quando você está velho e grisalho e cheio de
sono
E acenando para o fogo, ao pegar este livro,
E, lentamente, ler, e sonhar com o olhar suave
Seus olhos terão vez, e deles sairão sombras
profundas "
