Pound, Ezra: Gnomic Verses

Portre of Pound, Ezra

Gnomic Verses (English)

When the roast smoked in the oven, belching out blackness,

I was bewildered and knew not what to do,

But when I was plunged in the contemplation

Of Li Po’s beautiful verses,

This thought came upon me,

 

When the roast smokes, pour water upon it.

Versos Gnómicos (Spanish)

Cuando el asado humeaba en el horno escupiendo negrura,

me sentí desconcertado y no supe qué hacer,

pero cuando estaba sumergido en la contemplación

de los bellos versos de Li Po,

este pensamiento vino sobre mí:

 

cuando el asado humea, échale agua.
