Gerard Manley Hopkins: Hurrahing in Harvest (vertaling Cornelis W. Schoneveld)

Gerard Manley Hopkins

(1844-1889)

Hurrahing in Harvest

 

Summer ends now; now, barbarous in beauty, the stocks rise

Around; up above, what wind-walks! what lovely behavior

Of silk-sack clouds! has wilder wilful-wavier

Meal-drift moulded ever and melted across skies?

 

I walk, I lift up, I lift up heart, eyes

Down all that glory in the heavens to glean our Saviour,

And éyes, heárt, what looks, what lips, yet gave you a

Rapturous love’s greeting of realer, of rounder replies?

 

And the azurous hung hills are his world-wielding shoulder

Majestic – as a stallion, stalwart, very violet-sweet! –

These things, these things were here and but the beholder

 

Wanting; which two when they once meet,

The heart rears wings bold and bolder

And hurls for him, O half hurls earth for him off under his feet.

1877

 

 

Gerard Manley Hopkins

Opgetogen in oogsttijd

 

Zomer zinkt nu; nu, schaamteloos schoon, zie schoven staan

Verspreid; daar omhoog, welk ‘n wind-waas! niet lieflijk milder

Kon ‘t zijde-zwerk zijn! is ‘n welbewust-welvender wilder

Meel-drift ooit gevormd en gesmolten in d’ hemelbaan?

 

Ik loop, ik richt op, ik richt op hart, oog

Langs al dat heil in ‘t firmament om d’ Heiland te lezen,

En óóg, hárt, welke blik, welke lip, gaf jullie ooit, dan deze,

Verrukter liefdesrespons in raker, in ronder vertoog?

 

En de hemelblauwe heuvels zijn, O hoe verheven,

Z’n aard-torsende torso – als ‘n ruige ruin, zeer lila zoet! –

Deez’ dingen, deez’ dingen waren hier, maar bleven

 

Zonder beschouwer; eenmaal elkaar ontmoet,

Voedt het hart vleugels gedreven, meer gedreven

En zwiept voor hem, O half zwiept voor hem aard vanonder z’n voet.
