\u201cGardens are not made by singing \u00abOh, how beautiful,\u00bb and sitting in the shade.\u201d ~ Rudyard Kipling<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nu exista poezie buna si poezie proasta; doar ca unele versuri rezoneaza in mai multe minti\/suflete, altele in mai putine. Ca de obicei, m-as bucura sa ma contraziceti, sa ma completati ori, pur si simplu, sa propuneti Versurile de joi pentru saptamana viitoare. <\/p>\n

In anul 1894 – cand la Bucuresti se dadea in folosinta prima linie de tramvai electric si aparea revista bilunara “Vatra” prin grija celor trei mari condeieri: Slavici, Caragiale si Cosbuc – se nastea, undeva langa Brattleboro (Vermont, SUA), din pana inspirata a lui Rudyard Kipling, Cartea junglei<\/strong>, pentru a fi urmata, la numai cateva luni, de A doua carte a junglei<\/strong>. Renumitele personaje: Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo, Kaa, King Louie, Shere Khan (pe care le cunoastem mai ales din filmul de animatie produs de Disney in 1967) sunt la fel de adorabile si astazi, in ciuda trecerii a mai mult de un secol. Project Gutenberg ne ofera aici<\/a> varianta originala, completa, a “Cartii junglei”. Dar nu despre puiul de om abandonat in jungla indiana vreau sa scriu astazi si nici macar despre faptul ca in decembrie 1907 lui Kipling i-a fost acordat premiul Nobel pentru literatura (“pentru spiritul de observatie, originalitatea imaginatiei, virilitatea ideilor si remarcabilul talent narativ care caracterizeaza opera acestui autor de reputatie mondiala”).<\/p>\n

IF<\/strong>
\nIf you can keep your head when all about you
\nAre losing theirs and blaming it on you;
\nIf you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
\nBut make allowance for their doubting too;
\nIf you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
\nOr, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
\nOr, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
\nAnd yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;<\/p>\n

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
\nIf you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
\nIf you can meet with triumph and disaster
\nAnd treat those two imposters just the same;
\nIf you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
\nTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
\nOr watch the things you gave your life to broken,
\nAnd stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;<\/p>\n

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
\nAnd risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
\nAnd lose, and start again at your beginnings
\nAnd never breathe a word about your loss;
\nIf you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
\nTo serve your turn long after they are gone,
\nAnd so hold on when there is nothing in you
\nExcept the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;<\/p>\n

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
\nOr walk with kings – nor lose the common touch;
\nIf neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
\nIf all men count with you, but none too much;
\nIf you can fill the unforgiving minute
\nWith sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –
\nYours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
\nAnd – which is more – you’ll be a Man my son!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n

Dac\u0103<\/strong>
\nDe poti fi calm cand toti se pierd cu firea
\nIn jurul tau, si spun ca-i vina ta;
\nDe crezi in tine, chiar cand omenirea
\nNu crede, dar sa-i crezi si ei cumva;
\nS-astepti, dar nu cu sufletul la gura;
\nSa nu dezminti minciuni mintind, ci drept;
\nSa nu raspunzi la ura tot cu ura,
\nDar nici prea bun sa pari, nici prea-ntelept;<\/p>\n

De poti visa-si nu-ti faci visul astru;
\nDe poti gandi-dar nu-ti faci gandul tel;
\nDe-ntampini si Triumful si Dezastrul
\nTratand pe-acesti doi impostori la fel;
\nDe rabzi sa vezi cum spusa ta-i sucita
\nDe pisicher, sa-l prinda-n lat pe prost;
\nCand munca vietii tale, naruita,
\nCu scule obosite-o faci ce-a fost;<\/p>\n

De poti sa strangi agonisita toata
\nGramada si s-o joci pe-un singur zar,
\nSa pierzi si iar sa-ncepi ca-ntaia data,
\nIar c-ai pierdut-nici un cuvant macar;
\nDe poti sili nerv, inima si vana
\nSa te slujeasca dupa ce-au apus,
\nSi piept sa tii cand nu mai e stapana
\nDecat Vointa, ce le striga: Sus!<\/em><\/p>\n

De poti ramane tu in marea gloata;
\nCu regi tot tu, dar nu strain de ea;
\nDusman, om drag, rani sa nu te poata;
\nDe toti sa-ti pese, dar de nimeni prea;
\nDe poti prin clipa cea neiertatoare
\nSa treci si s-o intreci gonind mereu,
\nAl tau va fi Pamantul asta mare,
\nDar mai mult: vei fi Om, baiatul meu!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

(Trebuie sa recunosc ca de mult cochetez si eu cu ideea unei traduceri personale a acestui poem deosebit. Dar pentru ca rezultatul era inca departe de Spiritul Kipling<\/em> – asa cum il vad eu, am amanat acest proiect pentru zile mai linistite, ori mai inspirate.)<\/font><\/p>\n

Din noianul de traduceri in limba romana, am ales-o (si o prefer) pe aceea apartinand distinsului Profesor Dan Dutescu<\/a>, publicata in anii ‘980. Stiati ca si venerabilul Senior<\/em> Corneliu Coposu ne-a lasat o traducere<\/a> (nu tocmai rea) a acestui poem?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
