See all Show me
18. Sonnet 43 - William Shakespeare
1 year ago
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.

Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!

How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!

All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.

(Trad. Marià Villangómez)

Els meus ulls millor hi veuen com més closos,
car miren tot el dia indiferents,
però et contemplen somniant, commosos,
foscament en la fosca respleendents.

¡Tu, ombra que les obres aclareixes,
com ta forma daria resplendor
al jorn clar amb foc més clar, si resplendeixes
així davant els ulls sense claror!

¡Que feliç fóra, dic, la meva vista
de poder-te mirar en el jorn vivent,
si en morta nit la bella ombra entrevista
pel dens somni als ulls cecs es fa present!

El dia és nit, mentre no et veig el rostre;
la nit, dia brillant, si el somni et mostra.
