95 POEMES d'e.e.ecummings (1958 )

maggi and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play o day )

and maggie discovered a shell the sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her trobles, and

milly betfriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles : and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large alone.

For whatever we lose (like ayou or a mi )
it's always ourselves we find in the sea






maggie i milly i molly i may
van baixar fins a la platja (a jugar un dia )

i maggie va descobrir una petxina que cantava
tan dolçament que no podia recordar-se de les seves penes, i

milly va protegir una estrella desemperada
que tenia com raigs cinc lànguids dits ;

i molly va ser caçada per una cosa horrible
que corria de gairell mentre inflava bombolles : i

may va tornar a casa amb una pedra llisa i rodona
tan petita com un món i tan gran com solitària.

Perquè qualsevol cosa que perdem (com un tu o un jo )
sempre som nosaltres mateixos que ens trobem en el mar
