That old horseshoe crab,
among the oddest of creatures.
Defies those decidedly,
Fond of fine features.
They're neither crab nor horse,
you cannot eat or shoe them.
And when seen on the back,
there ain't too much to them.
among the oddest of creatures.
Defies those decidedly,
Fond of fine features.
They're neither crab nor horse,
you cannot eat or shoe them.
And when seen on the back,
there ain't too much to them.

sfidează cu sfruntare/fanii formelor fine
Problema principala este, desigur, aliteratia. Urmeaza apoi rima (varianta mea nu e valabila decat daca gasiti o rima intre versul doi si patru - cel mai probabil ”jivine”). Cat despre ritm, varianta mea pastreaza ritmul original (amfibrah), doar ca e o silaba in plus la versul al doilea si se introduce o cezura (intre fa-nii si for-me-lor).
Fiindca e o poezie recenta, din anii 2000, cuvantul ”fan” e legitim de folosit...

In cazul in care doreati doar lamurirea sensului, nu si traducerea (ar fi trebuit sa precizati ce doriti, fiindca o traduere de poezie implica f mult efort), el este acesta: prin uratenia lui, crabul isi bate joc de esteti.

Cam asa cred ca merge, daca am inteles corect contextul... o idee. :)

cand am scris pe „aceia, fideli”, am vrut sa respect cadrul (de poezie). :)
