цветочная лодка

[raf_sh]

из Роберта Фроста


Болтают, а ножницы ловко снуют
В руке деревенского брадобрея,
И лодка нашла у сарая приют,
На солнце свой груз удивительный грея:

По курсу цветы, цветы за кормой,
Цветами она полна до планшира —
С уловом трески возвращаясь домой,
Так прежде от Джорджевой Банки спешила.

Небесного фрахта здесь видится ходка:
Будь ветер покрепче — без лота и лага
Пойдут наудачу хозяин и лодка
На поиск Счастливого Архипелага.



The Flower Boat

by Robert Frost


The fisherman's swapping a yarn for a yarn
Under the hand of the village barber,
And here in the angle of house and barn
His deep-sea dory has found a harbor.

At anchor she rides the sunny sod
As full to the gunnel of flowers growing
As ever she turned her home with cod
From George's bank when winds were blowing.

And I judge from that elysian freight
That all they ask is rougher weather,
And dory and master will sail by fate
To seek the Happy Isles together.

33. 'Bran deems it a marvellous beauty
In his coracle across the clear sea:
While to me in my chariot from afar
It is a flowery plain on which he rides about.

...

44. 'We are from the beginning of creation
Without old age, without consummation 1 of earth, 2
Hence we expect not that 3 there should be frailty,
The sin has not come to us.

Спасибо.

4. 'There is a distant isle,
Around which sea-horses glisten:
A fair course against the white-swelling surge, --
Four feet uphold it.

5. 'A delight of the eyes, a glorious range,
Is the plain on which the hosts hold games:
Coracle contends against chariot
In southern Mag Findargat.
