Foreword
The title of anthology suggests that it is question of
recreation of an ancient unconventional Greek style which
encapsulates us into the myth of Zeno from Eleea (490 430
BC) and in original, subtle, profound and old fashionedmanner, the author proposes to our delight a collection of
lyrical feelings and transmutations.
This collection has thirty five chosen poems. Brilliantly
crafted, poems of Mariana Gurza are perceptive to natural
landscape and fundamental questions of life and death.
This volume offers Romanian original text and its homologue
in English on opposite pages. Translation of George Anca
surprises with hawk eye the splendor of original, transmits
with mastery poetical beauty and used rhythm, as well as
complexity of language depth of author Mariana Gurza.
A profound love poetry... sensual, musical and delicate.

Nota traductorului
Vrea s detoneze egoismul din jur (Adrian Dinu
Rachieru), tcerea nu-i va zgzui sufletul (Eleonora
Schipor), versurile devin universul i salvarea sa (Nina
Ceranu). Ne exceptnd romanioase declaraii erotice,
poemele Marianei Gurza (bucovineanc nscut n Banat,
mamde copii), au mai mereu dimensiunile rugciunii Tatl
Nostru. Traductorul a ascultat, concomitent, i cntece deFrank Sinatra, alegnd abia cteva fulguraii cvasi-mistice
aternute de-a lungul anilor i publicate n volumele Paradox
sentimental, Ed. Augusta, 1998; Gnduri nocturne, Ed.
Augusta, 1999; Nevoia de a sfida tcerea, Ed. Augusta, 2000,
Lumini i umbre, Ed.Augusta, 2001; Lacrima iubirii Ed.

M UIT SPRE CER
Nscndu-m din nou,
Iat-m!
Am trecut prin furcile unui vis urt.
Netiut de nimeni,
m-am mpresurat n suferina-mi mut,
Dar acum, Doamne, m desft
cu darul tu de via nou, s pot rde, s pot plnge,
s pot lupta, s triesc,
precum n neclintirea lor stncile.

I LOOK TO THE SKY
Born again,
Here I am!
I went through an ugly dream forks.
Unknown by anyone,
I encircled in my mute grief.
Yet now, o Lord, I am delighted
with your gift of new life, for laughing, weeping,
ghting, living,
like rocks in their immobility.

THE HEAVEN WEEPS IN MY HEART
I thought that disguising myself
as light, as despair,
I would lull to sleep your imagination.
I succeeded
to glimmer my angel
lost from me,
searching for me
in my gesture
of humility.

un ou rou,
o bucic de prescur,

TELL ME WHO I AM
I thought you know
who I am.
I thought I was
equally
shadow and being.
Til I realized that in time mirror
I was not more than
a cry,
a peal of laughter,
a white dress,
a candle ame,
a red egg,
a piece of wafer,
an eye of light.

FLIGHT AMIDST CLOUDS
It came as if I was a bird in ight.
Which one in the Gods
counting?
Which one returned by wind?
I should be
recognized after my wild prattle,
after nests hidden
in hourglass
of the time tax collector.

PLNG N PRAG DE SEAR
(Fiicei mele Ioana)
n grdina suetul meu
i-a fcut cuib o pasre cnttoare.
Are ceva de rugciune,
de chemare,
n dialogul ei
cu iasomia,
cu vntul,
cu gndul
i-a depus oul albastru
n orbita de aur fals,
i cntul ei s-a limpezit
ca privirea mea
dup prima ploaie de lacrimi.

I WEEP IN THE TRESHOLD OF NIGHT
(To my daughter Ioana)
In the garden of my soul
a singing bird made her nest.
It has something of prayer,
of call,
in her dialogue
with jasmine,
with wind,
with thought...
She laid her blue egg
in the false golden orbit,
and her song cleared
like my sight
after the rst rain of tears.

ENIGMATIC E TOTUL
Vorbele se aaz straniu
ntre via i alt univers.
Abisul?! Fie ct mai departe!
S citim despre el n cri!
Acum suntem aici, n tabloul
cu iarna alb, mine vom n cel cu verdele-verde.
Desigur vor nori i caii,
se vor coace,
cmpiile vor rodi i ele,
ca-n ecare an.
Vom aici s le culegem.
Durerile, trectoare,
i ele vor rmne singure.

ENIGMATIC IS ALL
The words sit strangely
between life and another world.
Abyss? Be it as far as possible!
To read about it in books!
Now we are here, in the picture
with white winter,
tomorrow we will be in green-green.
Of course apricot trees will as well bloom,
will ripen,
also the elds will bear fruit
as every year.
We will be here to collect them.
Even pains, transient,
will remain alone.

NCPNARE
Nu privi napoi,
n-ai ce vedea.
Sunt eu,
o umbr albastr
alunecnd agale
pe alei deja nuntite. Nu asculta,
e gndul meu
mcinat de-o dragoste verde.
Nu vei auzi niciodat
oaptele mele
metamorfozate n boabe aurii.
Nu te uita n ochii mei:
vei vedea doar orbirea nopii.
Aa eu m voi pierde n labirinturi,
tnjind dup mbriarea ta.

de a te ntoarce spre tine nsui.
Dar nu-mi vorbeti

c-mi scap printre degete.

YOU AMAZE ME, FRIEND
with your desire to walk
on traces of the saints
to return toward self.
But you dont talk to me
about pilgrims splashed
with mud. In your interior world
you have an answer,
as I also have it
in gloomy days
when everything seems
to slip out of my hands.

Sau ai rmas doar cu imaginea

PICTURE INFINITY
You had ended the book of war
thus I printed you in my heart,
like a star
under your thought light
good to cure wound of child
that you remained. Tell me what have you seen
in other life?
Did you succeed to count the stars,
to adorn yourself
with presented gem?
Or did you kept only image
of the innity?

CUTARE DE SINE
Memoria e mimoza pudica
Azi se deschide cu druire,
mine e golit de sensuri.
La ecare atingere
omul se strnge-n sine
cutndu-se n prima urm din lutul
inut n palm de Dumnezeu.
La picioarele lui,
ngenunchind umil,
pmntescul.

SEARCH FOR SEALF
The memory is mimosa pudica
today it opens with abnegation,
tomorrow is emptied by senses.
At each touching
man hauls inside
searching for self in the rst trace on clay
kept in palm by God.
Kneeling conceited,
at his feet:
the earthling.

ca un galop de verde crud
De aceea, primvara asta,
prinde-o, dragul meu, la rever
i arat-o zilei de mine,

cu caii lor umblai,
vor veni la popasul

I AM AFRAID FOR YOU, SON
Before being you,
son,
it was me,
it was the luminous
longing singing words,
luminously singing in my soul. And you came,
like a gallop of green green...
Therefore, this spring,
pin it, my dear, to the lapel
and show it to the tomorrow,
when those
with traveled horses
will come to the halt
of men.

VREMURI CRUDE
ntr-o sear
mama a uitat
afar sacul cu sare
dimineaa era o mare srat.
Tata i-a lsat coasa
pe marginea acestei mri i-a ruginit
Primului copil nscut
n seara aceea
i se argsise pielea
A fost primul semn
c era timpul s ne rugm,
s oprim puin vremea
i s-o culcm lng noi
nclzind-o ca pe
pruncul prsit.

GREEN TIMES
One evening
mother forgot
outside the sack with salt
the morning was a salt see.
Father left his scythe
on edge of this sea and it rusted...
First child born
that evening
had his skin tanned...
It was the rst sign
that time for pray arrived,
to stop for a while
and lay it near us
heating it like
the abandoned child.

POEZIE N VERS ALB
Semn c poezia triete
e versul alb
care a nelat rima.
De aici ncepe poezia
de la fotograa asta
pe care i-am lsat-o la ndemn
cu cteva rnduri oblice
dintr-un manuscris
din care,
prieten drag,
ai rupt o l,
ai ars-o ntr-o igar,
nainte de a te vindeca
de mine.

POEM IN WHITE VERSE
Sign that poetry lives
is the white verse
which cheated the rhyme.
From here the poetry starts
from this photograph
I left at your hand
with some oblique lines
out of a manuscript
from which,
dear friend,
you torn a page,
you burnt it in a cigarette,
before getting cured
of me.

LONGING
Toward His world
all bridges have been raised.
I had to give toll
also to the time,
to healing icons,
to last horse which has broken the bit.
Hot in my hand,
the last penny
remained
like a song on lips
when one is surprised
by perfect likeness
with one from the dream

M DOARE
Trasvestiul din urm al bunicului,
ca noi s nu-l recunoatem,
a fost unul i-n Ft Frumos.
Era la fel,
cu calul su nzdrvan,
cu eternitatea fa,
n spate cu vieile anterioare, cu alte travestiuri
Intr-unul era aidoma un sfnt.
Bunica croetase pentru el
o tichie de mrgritar,
n alta un nimb strlucitor.
Poate c m-am ntlnit
cu el ntr-o poveste,
sau poate l-au vzut
pe vreun zid cu grafti,
i-am dorit s e bunicul meu.

YOUR PAIN HURTS ME
To be not recognized by us,
grandfathers latter disguise
was into Prince Charming.
He was the same,
with his wonder-horse,
eternity in front of him,
anterior lives backward, other disguises.
In one he was like a saint.
Grandmother had crochet for him
a cap of pearls,
in other a bright halo.
Perhaps I met him
into a tale,
or I saw him
on some wall with grafti,
and I wanted to be my grandfather.

Czut la picioarele tale Iisuse,
Doar rugciuniile mi dau putere
Dup atta zbucium i durere.
Mi-e drag copilul meu, azi iari ncercat
i nu-mi pot stvili pornirea; Din lacrimi un nger am ngemnat
S-i e lui alturi mngiere.
Nu tiu dac snii mi-au auzit ruga,
Dar tiu c dincolo de nouri
Privirea sfnt i blajin
Vegheaz i este printre noi.

HUMILITY
(To my son Vlad)
Im like a cloudy leaf
Fallen to your feet, Jesus.
Only prayers still give me power
After so much struggle and sorrow.
My beloved child is tried again now
And I can not stop the start;I made a twin angel out of my tears
To stay with him as stroking.
I do not know if saints heard my prayers,
But I know that beyond the clouds
the saint and gentle sight
Watches and is among us.

WHERE ARE YOU GRANDPA
Where are you grandpa, forgotten among strangers
thrown into a corner of ground,
did someone put to you a cross,
being Romanian,
or they have mocked you
and made you ash? Stand up from the grave and say
what cloth is a cloth in the alienated country,
cry as to be heard by
Transylvania, Banat,
what Bucovinas old the Kingdom would have got!
Why did they tortured you, poor Romanian,
and your soles were beaten,
without food, without water,
with head downward?

LONE UNEMPLOYED
Its cold in house, his body frost,
empty of dreams and hopes,
lost,
an unemployed walks
with frozen tears.
Its hard to go farther, when pocket is missing
he warps again beautiful lies
thinking to what will he put on the table
of unreasonable children.
And looking again beseechingly to sky,
begging the mercy the Christian,
he would want a better life, an honest penny,
to beg no more in full churches.
Again his grant didnt arrive,

the age doesnt permit him to work
for see, Lord,
if one isnt young
do not have any chance left.
From time to time a passer by
as sad as him
put in his hand a penny.
You humble unemployed start to cry
and run scared to light a candle; for Lord, how well its among saints
when only them one can say what it hurts.

What you feel seeing so much sadness,
what you feel when a poor child comes
and begs a penny for a roll?
I wonder what changed us
to become so indifferent
to those we see daily
shivering and distressed
by rapid going of the seasons.

MANIFEST PENTRU VIA
(Fiicei mele Ioana)
Lsai caii s zburde pe cmpiile-ntinse
Liberi n jocul nebunesc de alt dat,
Fr poveri i fr lanuri groase
S simt ce-i aceea via.
Lsai orile s creasc unde e verde
i mugurii pstrai nrourai de zori,
S nasc n soarele viselor crude,
n viaa aceasta plin de erori.
Lsai-mi gndul nentinat
Dogorind n iubiri pierdute,
Lsai-mi suetul curat
i visele plpnde

MANIFESTO FOR LIFE
(To my daughter Ioana)
Let horses wander on the spread plains
Free in the crazy game of other days,
Without burdens and heavy chains
To feel how life is like.
Let owers grow where it is green
And buds kept dewy up to dawn
to bear in the sun of green dreams
In this life full of errors.
Let my thought undeled
scorching of love lost
Let my soul clean,
And dreams green...

INCONTIEN
Limita incontienei cine-o va gsi
acum cnd suntem la rscruce?
Cine va da rspuns pentru multe srcii
ce-mi zbucium neamul i l duce?
Suntem prea mici n marea btlie,
pe care alii o pornesc abrupt. Ce se va-ntmla cu-aceast glie
cnd azi dm totul cu-mprumut?
Nu mai avem nimic bun,totu-i putregai?
Unii vnd strinilor n disperare;
Noi rmnem cu bruma noastr de mlai,
plngnd la mormntul lui Stefan cel Mare.
Oare nu tim s preuim pmntul
ce ne-a fost dat din veacuri de strmoi?
Ce treb-avem noi cu strinul
i cu ali rechini scoroi?

UNCONSCIOUSNESS
Who will get limit of Unconsciousness
Now that we are at crossroads?
Who will answer for many poor
struggling and taking away my dear?
We are too little in the great ght,
that others do with abrupt start. What will it happen with this land
When we are giving all at lend?
Nothing good left, everything rot?
Some desperately sell to unknown;
We stay with a smattering of corn
crying at Stephen the Greats tomb.
Dont we know land feathers
given in ages by forefathers?
Is for us better
with shakes together?

PARADOX SENTIMENTAL
Omul nva pentru a nelept;
prostul cultiv legumele altora
fr a nelege
care este rdcina
i pe unde curge seva.
Poetul scrie doar pentru a numit un biet scrib
la curtea lumii.
Oamenii iubesc pentru c trebuie
s iubeasc
Exist o lege nescris
care ne oblig la iubire.
Dar cum iubirea a devenit o relaie
dintre cerere i ofert,
nimeni nu este sucient de bogat
pentru a cumpra iubirea...

SENTIMENTAL PARADOX
Man learns in order to be wise;
the stupid cultivates vegetables of others
without understanding
which is the root
and by where the sap ows.
Poet writes only to be called a poor scribe
at worlds court.
People love for they have
to love...
There is an unwritten law
which obliges us to love.
But as love became a relation
between supply and demand,
nobody is sufciently rich
to buy the love...

LIMBA NOASTR
Limba noastr, ca petalele unui trandar,
am gsit-o ntr-un col, aruncat
la garderoba unui teatru.M-am norat cnd am vzut-o;
olit,
clcat n picioare
de nclri murdare
dar cu etichete strine.
Limba noastr doinete singur
i sufer
spernd la o vitaminizare
pur Romneasc.
Limba noastr rmne Sfnt
Deoarece,
acolo sus, n cer,
cineva
I-a dat binecuvntarea
nc de la facerea lumii.

OUR LANGUAGE
Our language, like petals of a rose,
I found it into a corner, thrown
At a theater wardrobe.I shivered when I saw it;
Wilted,
Trampled
By dirty shoes
But with foreign labels.
Our language sings alone
And suffer
Hoping vitamins
Pure Romanian.
Our language remains saint
Because
Up there, in heaven,
Someone
Blessed it
Since the creation of the world.

OGLINDA DORULUI
Eu stau ascunsa pe un rm,
tu stai ascuns n nlimi.
ntre noi un ocean
Ne va despri ntotdeauna.
Singur
caut urma pailor rtcii; nvemntata-n valuri
privesc innitul cutnd
Sperana alearg
pe un catarg nsorit,
i cntecul se odihnete...
Din versuri am ndrznit
s-mi fac harf gndului
din lacrimi
oglind dorului.

LONGING MIRROR
I stand on a hidden shore,
you stay hidden in heights.
Between us -an ocean
will always broke us up.
Alone
I search for lost steps trace; Clothed in waves
I look to innity searching...
Hope runs
on a sunny mast,
and the song rests...
From lyrics I dared
to make harp for my thought
from tears
longing mirror.

PE URMELE LUI ZENON
Am prins tristeea-n mini
i-am nvemntat-o-n lacrimi.
I-am dat binee sursului
i am nchinat pelin
n cupe de nostalgie.
Mi-am prins dorul n plete i i-am dat culoare nopii,
apoi,
am fugit...
M temeam.
Alergam nfrigurat
spre un sfenic pribeag
ntocmai ca Zenon.
Ne-am surprins amndoi
n noapte ntrebnd...

MELOMANUL
Un meloman
i scrie cu fii de lumin
gndurile,
semnnd n linite
mugurii credinei.
Ateapt un rsrit,un apus ...
n jur cntec,
un cntec trist,
amar;
i melomanul ateapt.
Ateapt s soarb
dorul
din carafa cu vin rou
i s-i purice chipul
n oglinzi efemere.

MUSIC LOVER
A music lover
writes with light strips
his thoughts,
sowing quietly
faith buds.
Waits a sunrise,
a sunset... Song around,
a sad,
bitter
song;
and music lover waits.
Waits to sip
longing
from carafe of red wine
and to purify his face
into ephemeral mirrors.

DOAR FEMEIE ?
Suetul meu
nu se deosebete cu nimic
de suetul tu.
Inima mea poate

n rest nu vdde ce-mi sngereaz picioarele
cnd tu aduci imeni irii
i-i lai prea departe de ziua
n care dragostea ar trebui s nvie.

ONLY WOMAN?
My soul
doesnt differ at all
from your soul.
My heart can have
violet blue iridescence,
otherwise I dont see why my feet bleed
when you bring huge irises
and leave them too far from the day
in which love should revive.

ERAM FRUMOAS
Eram frumoas,
cnd te ateptam.
Dar a trecut ceva vreme
de cnd noi doi
ne-am legnat
pe dou curcubee,
dup ce ploaia
mi-a splat buzele
de srutrile tale.
i totui inima mea,
nvelit n iubirea ta,
a pstrat
pecetea sacr
cu care tu m-ai
atins cu iubire,
acolo,
printre nouri,
printre culori
i fulgere irosite de iubiri

I WAS BEAUTIFUL
I was beautiful
when waiting for you.
But its been a while
since we two
rocked
on two rainbows
after rain
washed my lips
of your kisses.
And yet my heart,
wrapped in your love,
has kept
the sacred seal
of yourloving touch,
there,
among clouds
colors,
lightningswasted by loves.

SAD BRANCHES
A branch beats in my window
like a desolate tear,
it doesnt say anything to me,
only trembles
and I see it more and more wilted.
I open the window and feel the drop world coldness;
I cry too,
I can not shut,
but I feel
I have nothing to say.
Clouds have been nesting at my breast,
its hard to warm them up,
they are cold,
and I feel my master is
only God in heaven.
