Тед Хьюз

теология

Нет, Еву змей не соблазнял
Известным яблоком.
Все это кто-то
Просто переврал.

Адам съел яблоко.
Адама съела Ева.
А змей съел Еву.
Темная утроба.

Теперь он, переваривая пищу,
Вздремнул в Раю —
Но, улыбаясь, слышит
Ворчливый голос Господа: «Эй, где вы?!»


(Из книги «Леший», 1967. Перевод 20.12.2024.)






Ted Hughes

Theology

No, the serpent did not
Seduce Eve to the apple.
All that's simply
Corruption of the facts.

Adam ate the apple.
Eve ate Adam.
The serpent ate Eve.
This is the dark intestine.

The serpent, meanwhile,
Sleeps his meal off in Paradise —
Smiling to hear
God's querulous calling.


(From Wodwo, 1967)

The title "Wodwo" is derived from the Middle English narrative poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". The term "Wodwo" was used in Middle English literature to refer to a mythical being, possibly a kind of wild man living in the woods.
