„Snow” de Louis MacNeice
| The room was suddenly rich and the great bay-window was Spawning snow and pink roses against it Soundlessly collateral and incompatible: World is suddener than we fancy it. |
Odaia deodată bogată – pe marele geam în pervaz Zăpada şi trandafiriile roze se lasă Colaterale-n tăcere şi incompatibile: Lumea e mai subită decât ne închipuim. |
| World is crazier and more of it than we think, Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion A tangerine and spit the pips and feel The drunkenness of things being various. |
Lumea e mai nebună şi mai mult decât credem, Incorijibil plurală. Cojesc şi desfac O mandarină scuip sâmburii simt din plin Beţia lucrurilor care sunt diferite. |
| And the fire flames with a bubbling sound for world Is more spiteful and gay than one supposes – On the tongue on the eyes on the ears in the palms of one‘s hands – There is more than glass between the snow and the huge roses. |
Iar focul pocneşte învăpăindu-se fiindcă lumea E mai contradictorie şi mai veselă cât am spune – Pe limbă pe ochi în urechi în căuşele palmelor – E mai mult decât geam între nea şi imensele roze. |
| Louis MacNeice | traducere de G. Tartler |

Lost Boots
There was a little boy in Kindergarten. He cried, so the teacher asked him what was wrong. He sobbed, „I can’t find my boots.”
The teacher looked around the classroom and saw a pair of boots, „Are these yours?”
„No, they’re not mine,” the boy shook his head. The teacher and the boy searched all over the classroom for his boots. Finally, the teacher gave up, „Are you sure those boots are not yours?”
„I’m sure,” the boy sobbed, „mine had snow on them.”
