„Kubla Khan” de Samuel Taylor Coleridge
| Or, a vision in a dream. A Fragment. | Viziune dintr-un vis |
| In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round; And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. |
La Xanadu vru Kubla Han Un dom-al-poftelor, pe unde Alf, râul sfânt, curgea avan Prin peşterile mult afunde Spre-a mării sumbre unde. Deci dar, a-ncins cu foişoare Şi zid o vale roditoare, Aici: grădini, pâraie-ntortocheate Şi mulţi arbuşti mustind tămâie; Şi codrii vechi, de când e lumea poate, Vrând, parcă, pajiţti să mângâie. |
