Pilinszky János: All The Rest Is Mercy (A többi kegyelem in English)

Portre of Pilinszky János
Portre of N. Ullrich Katalin

Back to the translator

A többi kegyelem (Hungarian)

A félelem s az álom

volt apám és anyám.

A folyosó meg a

kitáruló vidék.

 

Így éltem. Hogy halok meg?

Milyen lesz pusztulásom?

 

A föld elárul. Magához ölel.

A többi kegyelem.

All The Rest Is Mercy (English)

Fear and dreams

were my father and my mother.

And the corridor was

the unfolding landscape.

 

That’s how I lived. How will I die?

How will I perish?

 

The earth betrays me. Embraces me.

All the rest is mercy.
