José Emilio Pacheco: Dichterliebe
La poesía tiene una sola realidad: el sufrimiento.
Baudelaire lo atestigua, Ovidio aprobaría
afirmaciones semejantes.
Y esto por otra parte garantiza
la supervivencia amenazada de un arte
que pocos leen y al parecer
muchos detestan,
como una enfermedad de la conciencia, un rezago
de tiempos anteriores a los nuestros
cuando la ciencia cree disfrutar
del monopolio eterno de la magia.

Poetry has but one reality: suffering.
Baudelaire attested to it. Ovid would approve
with similar affirmations.
And this, what's more, guarantees
the threatened survival of an art
that few read and many
seemingly detest,
like a sickness of consciousness, a residue
of former times left over in ours,
when science believes it enjoys
an eternal monopoly on magic.
(My translation)
Nice one Tom, Harambe and Trump and Hillary and Bill and all -- along with that unnamed man collecting "recyclable materials amongst the floating garbage at Manila baywalk" (all those colors, all that plastic, that red hat) . . .
oh...what a beautiful poem...!!
Oh, what fine friends to have!
