THEORY / TEORIE

Into love and out again,
Thus I went, and thus I go.
Spare your voice, and hold your pen-
Well and bitterly I know
All the songs were ever sung,
All the words were ever said;
Could it be, when I was young,
Some one dropped me on my head?

DOROTHY PARKER

TEORIE

Ba iubesc, ba nu iubesc,
Asa plec, asa reviu.
Tine-ti vorba si stiloul –
Cu amar toate le stiu
Canturi ce-au tot zis sa zica,
Vorbe ce s-au repetat;
Oare, cand am fost mai mica
Cineva-n cap m-a scapat?

 

Maria Magdalena Biela
