SONHO E POESIA
É tudo experiência comum,
Tudo imagens comuns.
Ao acaso elas surgem num sonho,
Engendrando infinitos novos padrões.
É tudo sentimentos comuns,
Tudo palavras comuns.
Ao acaso elas encontram um poeta,
Engendrando infinitos novos versos.
Uma vez intoxicado, descobre-se a força do vinho,
Uma vez enamorado, descobre-se o poder do amor:
Tu não podes escrever meus poemas
Assim como não posso sonhar teus sonhos.
HU SHI (China, 1891-1962).

DREAM AND POETRY
It's all ordinary experience,
All ordinary images.
By chance they emerge in a dream,
Turning out infinite new patterns.
It's all ordinary feelings,
All ordinary words.
By chance they encounter a poet,
Turning out infinite new verses.
Once intoxicated, one learns the strength of wine,
Once smitten, one learns the power of love:
You cannot write my poems
Just as I cannot dream your dreams.
HU SHIH
