Lucian Blaga - Eu nu strivesc corola de minuni a lumii


I do not crush the world corolla of wonders,
My mind does not kill
the mysteries I met
on my way
in flowers, eyes, on lips or in tombs.


The light of others
strangles the spell of the hidden, unpenetrated
in depths of darkness,
but I,
I with my light increase the secret of the world-
as the moon with her white rays
does not diminish, but shimmering
intensifies night's mystery


I do myself enrich the dark horizon
with shivers, great shivers of sainted secret,
and what's not comprehended
becomes even more incomprehensible
under my own watching -
because I love
flowers and eyes, and lips and tombs.


(Translation by Don Eulert)
